![]() There are also some sexual innuendoes, brief marijuana references and a somewhat liberal, nontraditional view of family. The question then becomes, can Holly and Messer patch things up, or will Holly have to raise Sophie on her own?ĭespite some funny, uplifting moments, LIFE AS WE KNOW IT has plenty of PG-13 foul language. Just when it looks like they might even get married, their relationship goes south again. Things go terrible at first, but, as they settle down, Holly and Messer find themselves unexpectedly attracted to one another. They decide to raise the child together in their friends’ house, but not as husband and wife. A lawyer tells Holly and Messer that their friends named them both guardians. One terrible night, their friends die in a car accident, leaving their 2-year-old daughter, Sophie, an orphan. Holly Berenson and Eric Messer are two young professionals who don’t get along, even though their two best friends tried to set them up once on a blind date. If you love a good romcom, then you should watch this one too.LIFE AS WE KNOW IT is a cute, funny and heartwarming, but somewhat edgy, romantic comedy. I wouldn’t say ‘Life As We Know It’ is the best romcom, far from it, and it’s definitely not the most hilarious, but it’s still fab. It puts you in a great mood and makes everything feel brilliant. Overall, I do love this film, I think it’s enjoyable, it has some great moments and it’s a fun easy watch. ![]() One of these neighbours is actually played by Melissa McCarthy, but to be honest her character does annoy me a bit, she bosses her husband round like nobody’s business and talks with such high pitch, I think she is supposed to be a little annoying. They struggle in their first year of having a child, with the case worker coming at the hilariously most inconsiderate times, and with the neighbours constantly hovering, helping or pestering, you decide. The film follows one year which is broken down into seasons. Holly, she’s the opposite, she’s a caterer with her own bakery and she follows life by a plan. Messer is a jokey character of playing the field, as such, he loved his old life of going to see games as a living and being able to pick up women whenever he wanted to. Told to live in their deceased friends’ house and look after their baby, they feel more and more they are falling into their friends’ lives, struggling to look after a baby who won’t stop crying. Their lives turn upside down as they are now suddenly handed a baby. Holly and Messer (that’s his last name don’t worry) are bombarded with the dreadful news of their best friends death in a car accident, the next day they are surprised to find that those best friends had named Holly and Messer together as their daughter’s guardians if anything should happen to them. The film is also quite predictable, but aren’t most romcoms? Saying all this, I really do like this film, it’s enjoyable, it has hilarious moments and heart-warming ones, I don’t think there is much else to ask for in a romcom. The other star of the film is Josh Duhamel, he is great too. ![]() I do love Katherine Heigl, but it’s pretty much the same character she plays in each film. ![]() Doesn’t mean that’s a bad thing, no not at all. And just like ‘New Year’s Eve’ she’s a caterer, although ‘New Year’s Eve’ did come out after this one. Knowing nothing of being parents and hating each other from an awful blind date three years before, they struggle through charts and other baby-related problems, trying to be the parents Sophie lost.Īnother Katherine Heigl romcom, and of course she’s a similar character to her usual, the control-freak, like in ‘27 Dresses’ or ‘The Ugly Truth’, ‘Life As We Know It’ is just the same character. When one year old Sophie is soon orphaned it’s up to the godparents to drop everything and take care of her. ![]()
