The Pharisees believed that HaShem gave the Jews both a written and an oral Torah, both of which were equally binding and both of which were open to interpretation by rabbis. Pharisees were devoted to the study of Torah and the education of all people, regardless of status in society.
The Pharisees detested hypocrisy and actively sought it out and criticized it whenever they encountered it. Examples of this hatred of hypocrisy can be found in the Gemara in Sotah 22B with several caricatures. They strongly denounce the pious man who cared more for his own purity than for human life; for the young woman who's overly zealous in her devotions; the widow who showed of her religious observance; and to the self-appointed Torah decisors who lacked the knowledge and qualifications to do the job.
The Pharisees were the only movement to survive the destruction of the Second Temple and were the ancestors of modern Judaism.

How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?
Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.

Can pharisees have children?
There is no mention of any prohibition on Pharisees having children. In fact, according to the teachings of the Tanach (Jewish Bible), men are incomplete if they remain unmarried and without children. As Torah observant Jews, the Pharisees most definitely would have had children. The proof of this is that the Pharisees are the ancestors of modern Judaism.
Why did Jesus denounc the Pharisees more than he did any other group?
The gospels record that Jesus hung out with Pharisees, studied with Pharisees, ate with Pharisees and argued with Pharisees. If you look at what we know about the Pharisees from the Mishnah, which is largely a record of the opinions of the Pharisees, we know that they denounced each other on many occasions as a routine part of their rhetorical style. Jesus fits right in, so closely that most Jews who have studied the Gospels conclude that Jesus was probably a Pharisee and either a member of the school of Hillel or allied to that school of thought. His denunciations sound very much like typical denunciations from the school of Hillel aimed at the school of Shamai.
