Movie Review: Life as We know it (2010)

Image



Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance

 

Starring: Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Josh Lucas


There are some movies whose eventual outcome is extremely obvious, right from the word 'Go'. 10 minutes into this movie and almost anyone can tell you exactly what happens for the next 100 minutes, more or less. Holly (Heigl) runs a bakery store and is absolutely in love with it and the success that she is experiencing. Messer (Duhamel) is a television technical sports director and has been working extremely hard to get that promotion he always wanted. Peter and Alison are friends with both Messer and Holly and decide that the two should meet each other because they are extremely compatible and they could do with each others company. Their first encounter does not go correct and they each vow to hate the other person for the rest of their life. Peter and Alison unfortunately die in a car accident and as per their will, Holly and Messer are appointed guardians to their 1 year old daughter, Sophie. The new found parenthood comes as a shock to both of them and in order to protect Sophie from going into Child Protective Services, they need to stay together and ensure that Sophie has a good upbringing. A very cliched story that fails to offer anything new. Even the romance or the humour aspect seems to be force-fed down your throat and lacks any form of innovation. If an average romance-comedy is what you seek then the movie does fine but it is not the kinds that will make you go 'awwww' every now and then.


Thumbs up: Nothing in particular

Thumbs down: Cliched plot, lacks interesting elements
