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

Yes, E-Wallets are better than cash: How to setup and use e-wallets.

There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present. If a mobile wallet like Paytm is used to its full potential, you will not even need to carry cash, except for some situations. If you think it is an overstatement, keep on reading
