Megan Fox Cast Alongside... Don Draper

Megan Fox cast alongside Jon Hamm in Friends with Kids.

Love her or hate her, there’s no doubt that Megan Fox drums up buzz wherever she goes.  Her latest move has her teaming with Jon Hamm in Friends With Kids.  THR reports:

“Megan Fox is joining "Friends With Kids," an ensemble comedy from Jennifer Westfeldt.   Westfeldt wrote the script and will star as well as produce with her partner Jon Hamm… [Adam] Scott and Westfeldt will play the lead couple; [Kristen] Wiig and Hamm will play another.”

Jennifer Westfeldt is Hamm’s real-life girlfriend and secretary (I keed, I keed).  This will be her directorial debut.  Here’s a quick synopsis of the ensemble comedy: 

“The story revolves around a pair of thirty-something best friends who observe the toll that having kids has taken on the couples they know and resolve to bypass that stress by having a child and then date other people.”

Doesn't it seem like every week there’s a new comedy about a couple, or one destined to be, getting a baby thrown into their lives?  But, back on point, Fox is set to play a girl Adam Scott starts to date in the film.  To which I reply, damn you Mr. Scott, damn you.  She’s mine!  

Seriously, I think this is a good thing for Fox.  After leaving (or being fired, depending on who you believe) Transformers, Fox needed to prove she wasn’t just another pretty face.  I thought her performance in Jennifer’s Body was very underrated, but that wasn’t enough.  With Passion Play rolling out and now this, we’ll see just how far she can really go.

For shame, new guy.  Taking up the "Megan Fox is hot!" train?  I expect more of you and of Screened.

Movie doesn't sound too bad. Jon Hamm was really funny in his 30 Rock roles and I think Kristen Wiig is one of the remaining funny people on SNL. Also I really liked the secretary joke.

@cooljammer00: In all fairness, I was on that train long before the first Transformers came out.  I like to think I'm the train conductor.

I think most of us were because we were told to get on.  Then we ended this terrible metaphor and realized Megan Fox is over-rated/nigh unattractive.

Whoa, Megan Fox is HOT.

You seem way too optimistic that Megan Fox is a legitimate actress.

I've been on the Megan Fox defense force since I saw Jennifer's Body. She delivered those Diablo Cody lines very well and she really hasn't done anything terrible to make me think she's completely useless. Jonah Hex is her worst performance, but even the great Josh Brolin was garbage in that. 
 
Give her a chance. .

I have to admit I will watch anything with Fox in it. Perhaps with the sound off, but I'll watch it.

Megan Fox's real name is Dick Whitman.

QFT!
There is nothing in the world that will make me watch a movie with this useless body in it.

  Well, a good excuse to post this here...
   
 Megan Fox aside, the creeping realisation that I'm becoming a "target demographic" is slightly terrifying me.

She ate her thumbs off in a photoshoot just like that.
