In de romantische komedie Life As We Know It is Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) een succesvolle cateringmanager en Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) een veelbelovende sportverslaggever. Na een rampzalige eerste date is het enige dat ze gemeen hebben hun minachting voor elkaar en de liefde voor hun peetdochter, Sophie. Wanneer Holly en Eric plotseling de rol van Sophies ouders op zich moeten nemen, worden ze gedwongen nader tot elkaar te komen om voor haar te zorgen. Terwijl ze hun ambities en drukke sociale leven proberen op elkaar af te stemmen, moeten ze ook nog met elkaar onder één dak leren leven, met alle hilarische gevolgen van dien. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Neither here nor there. It says comedy/drama/romance in the description, but only the last one applies. I expect a comedy to make me laugh, and I expect a drama to make me think. Neither of that happened. The film drags (110 minutes? Why?!). It's clear from the first scene that the two protagonists are going to end up together. Katherine Heigl plays the same desperate woman as always (I'm starting to wonder if she's really acting). The rest of the film is just filler, trying in vain to create suspense by throwing various predictable obstacles in their way. I would have given it just one star, but Christina Hendricks was in the film for ten minutes, which was a brilliant move.

It's a fact that the whole movie is basically carried by Katherine and Josh D. There were lines that made me pee myself laughing and romantic moments where I was completely entranced and would have wanted to swap bodies. It's a bit of a shame that the performances of the others weren't anything special... except for the social worker, who won me over with her one line, "Maybe... if you want to get there fast, you should go faster than the other cars." All in all, it was great to watch and I give it a well-earned 5 stars.

Life as We Know It is in many ways similar to Raising Helen (Kate Hudson), but instead of a woman, there is a man. Both have to re-evaluate their lives after a tragedy and slowly discover that what they've been avoiding is what makes them happiest. If that sounds clichéd to you, it's definitely not your fault, because that's simply how romantic comedies are made in America. The same formula and usually the same result. Here, there was a likeable lead couple and a few laugh-out-loud moments, so I give it a nice 3*. In short, a typical product of America that is especially suitable for a good time.

Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel were fine, the chemistry between them worked quite well, but the script put so much crap in their mouths that I wanted to cry, especially towards the end. It wasn’t so much with emotion, but just with how stupid it was and how it had to lead to the exact conclusion you expected. The ending bothered me and overall it brought down a film that had started quite well.
