Beautiful comedy/love story/drama , you name it!
I laughed and cried at the same time watching this movie. The twocharacters are amazing, funny and beautiful. The comedy part is smartand funny, the drama part is also smart and powerful, the love part ispassionate and deep. I recommend this movie to any couple who arethinking of having a baby or to anyone who thinks that he/she is notready for a relationship.I am sure that this movie changed a lot of ourthoughts and ideas. Life is tough and complicated but we have to liveit and enjoy it and LOVE. Recently, we hear a lot about "no stringsattached" and "friends with benefits" type of relationships, let meknow what you think after watching this movie!

Real Life Movie
At first I watched it because of the casts. But as the movie flows, I really think it has some depths in it. Not just some other romantic/comedy, this one we can actually relate to (and finally for once no sexual context, well just a little maybe. Which I find it refreshing). How new parents are behaving and adapt with their first child, is sometimes funny to watch but also heartfelt. Overall, this movie has some laughs, tears, and of course love. Can't wait for the DVD to come out!

Love It
This review is from: Life as We Know It (DVD) You should most definitely see this film. Lovely message. A film about growing up, for those who are already grown up in age. I would highly recommend this funny, yet touching movie to any of my friends.

Utterly Predictable But Good
There must be a magnet between me and this type of comedies that wecannot live without each other, and once in a while I need to seesomething that I know how it's gonna be, how it's gonna end, because 1)those flicks are easy to predict and 2) sometimes, we reach for adesire that something or someone will surprise us in colorful comedieslike this. Well, "Life As We Know It" (suggestive title for what I justsaid) moved just in the way I thought it would move for good and bad.The result as a whole is a nice film with a charming couple as leadactors.It goes to tell us the story of Eric (Josh Duhamel) and Holly(Katherine Heigl), two people with nothing in common united by theirfriends who made a surprising bond that they should raise theirorphaned baby in case of their death, which eventually happens. Now,these two workaholic figures with different lifestyles and way ofthinking will join forces and lots of scream against each other tryingto raise a baby, something they never did in their lives. Now comes the part where you can see how predictable this film gets.Did the main couple hate each other so much and the way we see that isthroughout some funny lines and almost hilarious moments? Check! Someof them will find a nice partner to be romantically involved with?Check! While raising the baby lots of gross humor, a crying baby allthe time will be part of this flick? Check! After spending so much timewith the kid and with each other Holly and Eric finally will fall inlove? Check! And then comes the time when they break up, and the movieseems like "Speed" in the part where the bus has come to the end of theroad and something impossible (but totally predictable) will happen tothem? Check! So, if you like all of this fore-mentioned things thismovie is for you! But why this film works and doesn't work? It works because Duhamel andHeigl have an amazing chemistry despite some bad jokes here and there,both in drama and in comedy scenes; the story goes okay and has thingswe can all enjoy if we're not too much demanding. But it doesn't workin a few levels while being very funny before the tragic event thatchanges everyones lives, there was some weak things that seemedunnoticed by the writers (e.g. Eric and Holly hate each other, theirfriends just died and he still acts cold towards her? Unexcusable!);the social worker who meets with them was created for comical purposesand it backfired badly, since she was too much goofy, annoying, and thewriters while insisting in being serious at points could have make ofthis character the serious weight of the film, something to reallybalance the well humored film. At last, the ending could have been somuch better if they picked the less expected one and the morerealistic, I would say! Not to mention, that the subject receivedbetter and funnier treatment in pictures like "Baby Boom" and "RaisingHelen". If the movie gets into a more dramatic level at many times, the comedyhelps a little when these two are trying to do whatever to make thebaby sleep or get calm (and that includes improvising a funny song orsings Radiohead's 'Creep' to make her sleep), a taxi driver (FaizonLove) friend of Eric hired as nanny while he's at work, and some nicemoments between Holly and a doctor (Josh Lucas) that becomes her loveinterest. And of course, a bunch of scenes with the couple hanging outwith their other friends all married, few good things about it. Clichés after clichés but somehow it manages to be a good entertainingfilm with some positive things. 7/10

Couples Unexpected
I really enjoyed the movie , i was expecting more , but wasn't badafter all.I'd say i found it funny & overwhelming , not a chance thati've wasted my time , definitely a very appropriate story and an idealfirst-time parent concept.Best scene : the whole arguing and conversation while having thesedrown cat faces , and that's a couple's argument , i can tell you that.The presence of the the social worker was perfect , it gave the story amuch warmer scenes , and a bit funnier moments . Liked the way shecried , it was hilarious.But i should say , the story have been kinda of predictable in the end, the typical breaking up then coming to common sense , a very typicalending. a very enjoyable movie , i liked it after all.RL

Agenda-driven & pro-drug
This review is from: Life as We Know It (DVD) This movie is not something I would have my family sit down to watch together. MY adult daughter and I found it boring and disgusting. Yep, keep the insults coming Hollywood/Canadawood.The pro-drug message was bad, when the godparents found drugs in the parent's house (after they passed). It was horrid the second time they pushed the message, as this couple, who "love" this baby, consume the drugs and then play parenting. Of course (as most movies and TV shows must do these days) there is the standard poster-"parent" couple sitting in as their friends and are shown to be the model parents. All the other parents in this movie are, of course, out of it. ahem So we try to overlook this agenda-driven movie and try to enjoy it. We couldn't! It was dumb and boring! It would have had a great ending, at least, if it had the new mom deciding to grow up for real and stay with a stable MAN (the pediatrician), rather than the little teen boy in a man's body. I don't think it would have reflected real life though, if it had, as she would have had to be a WOMAN in a woman's body, rather than the teen girl she was. Bottom line: predictable agenda and very few laughs. Sad ending for the child.

That many clichés in a movie must be a record.
The movie may be defined as a romantic comedy but it is not reallyfunny nor do I believe it was meant to be; it is a romance, or lightdrama as I prefer to think of it. It has all the expected clichés andthe predictable situations the storyline would have you conjure up.Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel do as good a job as the script allows;I'd say they save the movie from doing much more poorly ratings wise.If you read the storyline or synopsis and think this a movie you'd liketo see, then you won't be disappointed, as long as you remember it is alight romantic drama, because I don't think much more could be donewith this story. It would be a mistake to try to make it funnier; thesubject matter does not lend itself too well for a comedy. Many reviewsmention how nice a couple the Heigl and Duhamel make so I won't dwellon that other than agree. The rating on IMDb is the most even andconsistent I've seen; it's spooky how little margin there is betweenhigh and low votes. I liked it and give it the average rating no less.As you'd expect, all the funny parts are in the trailers, that's it.

Despite some negative reviews... loved it
I've read the negative reviews here and I really don't understand them at all... to each his/her own I suppose. I really enjoyed this movie, yes it is similar to other romantic comedies of the same formula (girl and guy despise each other initially but love grows out of it), but sometimes having the same recipe isn't a bad thing. Its like enjoying a chocolate chip cookie recipe like your Mom used to make, you can have them over and over and you still love it. This movie still made me laugh and cry, and I will continue to like romantic comedies even if they use the same formula. If you want a sweet, endearing, funny and yet emotional movie, this is the one for you. The chemistry between Katherine and Josh is fantastic.

Maybe fill a gap for rom-com fans
Points to note: people were laughing in the cinema. I left before theend.The good: Katherine Heigl. The premiseThe bad: everything else.The trailer made this look like it could have some flair. It doesn't.Caricatures playing out a cliché. As a horror fan, it made me think ofa slasher film - satisfies the genre hunger, but disappoints otherwise.Really and truly could have been a hell of a lot better and I thinkthis is one of those cases where Hollywood producers just think theyknow how to do a rom-com.Still, maybe it improved towards the end, but I'll never know!

Clichéd perhaps but fun and cute and definitely entertaining
At first glance it is very easy to chalk Life As We Know It up to beingincredibly formulaic. I mean we have seen this story time and timeagain. But as with the case of many genre films that doesn't mean thatit is bad. It does however mean that the cast needs to be solid, thestory fun and unique, and it has to be entertaining perhaps more thanjust average. Fortunately Life As We Know It works in those waysexactly. It doesn't blow you away and it doesn't make any unique leapsand bounds and yet it is completely entertaining. Part of the reasonthe film works is because they also make sure the film is a romanticcomedy and that part of the story really works. Chemistry runs high andthe idea of being new parents, suddenly forced into the job adds to thefun rather than being the focus. I think what the film boils down to isthe chemistry between the leads and it truly works. Although I don'tnecessarily believe that the entire cast was perfect in the film theywork enough to make it incredibly entertaining and that is all thatmatters.I have a distinct love/hate relationship with Katherine Heigl. She'sbeautiful and down to earth and I loved her on Grey's Anatomy. She hashad some good solid romantic comedies in the past and she works well inthis film as the uptight organized Holly. She isn't the perfect personfor the role I think but she does well. Josh Duhamel steals the film ashe often does in his roles. Duhamel has charisma and it has reallylaunched his film career. He can have chemistry with just about anyoneand as Eric 'Messer' his wild and loose personality meshes perfectlywith Heigl. They have great chemistry and their romance is what holdsthe film together. The whole fish out of water Dad story works wellwith Duhamel. Josh Lucas has a small but important role as the 'niceguy' paediatrician who gets the bum rush which is common for Lucas inromantic comedies.Long time Producer but new director Greg Berlanti probably took thisproject on because it is formulaic. I imagine this wasn't a bigchallenge for a director and he was probably smart enough to just letthe cast do what they could do best. The supporting cast were allacceptable and served their purpose but there was no stand outsupporters. Equal parts comedy and emotion and all the makings of agreat romantic comedy means this is the perfect date night movie,entertaining and fun and anyone can enjoy it. Definitely worth checkingout because as formulaic and predictable as some might claim it is youwon't be disappointed. 8/10

cute couple and cozy family (spoiler contained, be careful if you wanna read it, thanks ^^)
At first I watch this movie for Josh Duhamel, but after watching it Irealized that it is not only the actors or actresses make the moviegreat, but also the story line, the lovely relationship and, andeverything in this movie. Being in a relationship is hard, butrelationship like Holly and Messer is even harder. They did not likeeach other at first, actually they kind of loathed each other. But astime went by, for Soph's sake, there was something joyful but notexplainable generated. It is love, but it is also more than love. It isnot just the sort of "I love you and you love me" thing, it is aboutthe whole family, it is the kind of love full of responsibility. I'dlike to call Sophie a Cupid, because she is exactly the one who bringsHolly and Messer together. Amy is right, these guys just make a cutecouple. Lovers are supposed to be like this, I mean solving problemstogether with some lovely fights that can only bring the lovers eventighter. Life is not always delighting, sometimes we need the rightperson to help us cope with all the problems, because that's all whatlove is about.

Life As We Know it is Their Terms of Endearment ****
Superb film, a comedy that soon turns quite tragic. A couple that can'tstand each other, becomes parents to the baby of their friends, whenthe latter die in a car accident.Although we know where this is heading to, it's a heartwarming story aswe see how their lives are affected by having this child.Life is literally turned upside down for the couple. We know that theywill invariably fall in love, but the road to that is complicated,especially when our young lady falls in love with the divorcedpediatrician.Was this tragedy a set-up what was meant to be? How can you adjust yourlife to such adversity? These are the questions that are asked in thiswonderful picture.

Cute romantic comedy with some decent drama
This review is from: Life as We Know It (DVD) I thoroughly enjoyed Heigl and Duhamel in this movie, even though Heigl plays the uptight female once again. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Duhamel's acting in this. He should look for more dramatic roles.

Loved It
This was a very touching movie. We bought it on blu-ray/dvd as we do not get out to the movies. The only part I did not enjoy was the marijuana scene... Kind of appalled me. Otherwise, VERY good.

Fills Hollywoods REQUIRED HOMOSEXUAL positive appearances
This is a completely predictable modern Hollywood romance movie, allthe way down to the mandatory required homosexual appearances (here amale couple with baby). (It offends me that homosexuality is shoveddown our throats as being ubiquitous and positive in every Hollywoodromance today. Wow! Give it a rest! I'd like to see one conspiracymovie about this propagandizing conspiracy promoting homosexuality inthe film industry and media.) The movie was sweet and enjoyable as aromantic comedy. The movie never convinced me that deceased couple hada truly close relationship to the singles to which they gave their babyand it seemed strange having an open homosexual male couple fullyincorporated into the neighborhood in the "buckle of the Bible belt".But the movie was enjoyable for a date movie and I would recommend itas such.

Sweet film, but too annoyingly predicable, and hardly any chemistry between the leads.
You've seen this type of film too many times, like Three Men and aBaby(1987), and Raising Helen(2004), people living the good life,forced to it on hold, when a child has to come live with them, andthere not ready to be parents, you get the drift.The story of people who don't like each other too much, Holly(KatherineHeigal), who runs a Delicatisen, and is shy about relationships. AndMesser(Josh Duhamel)who is a camera director at a basketball stadium,and he is anything but shy when it comes to relationships. These twocan't stand one another,but are stuck together, when two of therecloses friends are married, and Shelly and Messer become God parents tothere newborn daughter. But tragedy strikes when there friends arekilled in a car crash. what also comes as surprise is Messer and Hollyare left to be legal guardians to there daughter,will they both make itwork? Not a bad film, but not a great one either. Katherine Heigal wasalright, she doesn't just play it as goofy, there is a heart to hercharacter, but Josh Duhamel never really seems committed to this, hespends a good part of the time just mugging at the camera. He deservesbetter. Not to mention he and Heigal hardly have any chemistry. Itcomes across like it was trying way to hard to be comedy and drama. Itfailed for the most part.

Some Laughs, but Forgettable
I laughed while watching "Life as We Know It", the newest Kathryn Heigl vehicle. Heigl has a unique sort of movie star look and evokes memories of some of the stars of the 50s and 60s. In fact, "Life" seems like a movie Doris Day might have made. I am not a huge fan of Doris Day's films.But after watching this film, I became depressed. "Life" is a forthy, frivolous little confection but it is also a film you will instantly forget. I find it a little sad when people make one film after another, films that do nothing to challenge their skills or showcase their talents.Holly (Kathryn Heigl) owns a small bakery in Atlanta. Her friends fix her up on a blind date with Messer (Josh Duhamel), an editor of live sports telecasts. They are completely wrong for each other and don't get along at all. In fact, they instantly hate each other. Their friends, Allison and Peter (Christina Hendricks, TV's "Mad Men" and Hayes MacArthur) have a baby, Sophie, and name Holly and Messer as the baby's god-parents. This forces Holly and Messer to spend time with one another at Sophie's birthday parties (Holly is a baker and brings elaborate cakes) and other family events One night, Holly gets a phone call and learns her two friends were killed in a car accident. She and Messer soon learn they are the designated guardians and reluctantly try to raise Sophie, based on their friend's last wishes.In reading this synopsis, you can probably guess just about every "twist and turn", if such obvious moments can be labeled as such. This is always a problem in my eyes. Yes, the familiar is welcome in some circumstances, but while watching a film or television show, familiarity usually leads to boredom.There are some funny moments and some funny observations, but they seem too forced, too sitcomy and too few and far between. The film is directed by Greg Berlanti, who comes from television. He is currently one of the producers of the new television series "No Ordinary Family", which is better than this film. When someone comes from a television background, you hope they will use the opportunity to make a film to push for something different and better, something more challenging. But "Life" plays like a sitcom or dramedy. When Messer is faced with a problem, he is saddled with Sophie when he has an opportunity to direct his first sports broadcast, his solution plays out like something you would see on CBS on Monday night. It is not necessarily something you want to pay $11 or more to experience in a theater.I have seen a number of Kathryn Heigl's films and I have always laughed at her performances. Given the fact she and her mother serve as Executive Producer on her films, she is clearly trying to model her career after the comedy stars of yesteryear. She seems to want to be the next Katharine Hepburn or the next Rosalind Russell. Is she as good as either of these classic actresses? No way, but she holds some promise.What I find disappointing is that her films are so mediocre. This seems to be the result of everyone associated with the films; the studio okaying the film, the writer(s) who provide the predictable 'madcap" story, the director who can't make the film something new and interesting. But most importantly, the fault lies with Heigl herself. If, as Executive Producer, she doesn't push the people working on the project to produce something interesting, who will? I still think she holds promise, I am still waiting for a truly memorable film role, but I won't be waiting for much longer.Josh Duhamel is also extremely likable but he also hasn't delivered on the promise many believe he has shown. A former soap actor ("All My Children"), he then starred on "Las Vegas" leading to a role in a surprisingly good romantic comedy called "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton". The "Transformers" films follow, one good and one bad. Maybe the third will be the charm. But it is difficult for him to stand out amid all of the cacophony and destruction of these mega-budget films. His last few films have been disappointing. In "Life", Messer is a mess and he doesn't realize it. But you know that over the course of the film, he will learn what is important in life and he will become a better person. This doesn't come as a surprise does it?Josh Lucas, also once a promising actor who is extremely charismatic, plays the guy Holly is interested in and attracted to. He is completely the opposite of Messer, a successful pediatrician who does everything possible to woo the café owner, he doesn't stand a chance. What happened to his career? Wow! He is now relegated to playing the guy Kathryn Heigl doesn't want or end up with?And when you see one film after another in which people just don't move forward, that is truly depressing. And forgettable. What was the name of that other Kathryn Heigl film? Kathryn who?I don't know about you, but I don't like to pay $11 or more to become depressed.

What can I say? It's Katherine Heigl ;-)
This review is from: Life as We Know It (Amazon Instant Video) Take huge chunks out of KH's three most popular comedies: 1) unexpected motherhood (Knocked Up); 2) the tendency to put other's needs before herself (27 Dresses); 3) clashing with a player, then falling in love with him after he miraculously becomes a one-woman man (Ugly Truth), put them in a blender, add the necessary dramatic elements to explain how the main characters ended up in their situation, and what have you got? Well, this movie.Sorry I can't go deeper than that. I liked it; I'd watch it again. It's Katherine Heigl-- everything she does is entertaining, and she's adorable, and way talented. It's a rom-com; we don't watch them to ponder deep mysteries of existence-- at least I don't. It's an escape for a few.Having said that, I also want to add that the arguments between the two seemed more real/less staged than I've seen before in other movies; almost felt like I was eavesdropping in a few spots. But I blinked, and he had gone from womanizer to a man in love in about the time it takes to sneeze. And then they all lived happily ever after.Katherine Heigl has only begun to show us what she can do; I predict there will be much more in the future. Can't wait to see what she does next. Whatever it is, she will rule the screen.

Great Romantic Comedy
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I watch it often. It's somewhat predictable but very cute. I have a huge crush on Josh Duhamel. Katherine and Josh have great chemistry in this movie. The movie is very comical.
