![]() ![]() ![]() Katherine Heigl is a known, reliable entity who's graced many a movie, but the real discovery for me was Josh Duhamel who conveyed all of his feelings to me, another guy, extremely well in situations I've never really encountered, perhaps better and more agreeably than any other male lead I can think of. As a mere film lover, I have no idea how the two leads managed to make this script believable, but they did. One scene also has brief comic elements involving brownies laced with marijuana.Īll in all, therefore, MOVIEGUIDE® suggests strong caution for the movie’s more edgy, lewd and non-traditional elements.My wife's choice of film made me miss "The Town" and "The Social Network" which I preferred, but I'm not regretting this night. Thus, LIFE AS WE KNOW IT has a Romantic, somewhat liberal worldview with a subtext that promotes same-sex marriage and takes a slightly non-traditional attitude toward family. Finally, though all of the other friends of Sophie’s mom and dad are married with children, one of the couples includes two homosexual men. Also, the two leads sleep together one time. The question then becomes, can Holly and Messer patch things up, or will Holly have to raise Sophie on her own?ĭespite many funny, heartwarming moments, some good writing and appealing performances, there’s a lot of PG-13 foul language in LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. Just when it looks like they might even get married, their relationship goes south again. Things go terrible at first, but, as things settle down, Holly and Messer find themselves unexpectedly attracted to one another. When a lawyer tells Holly and Messer that their friends named both of them guardians, Holly and Messer foolishly decide to raise the child together in their friends’ house as Sophie’s godparents, not as husband and wife. One terrible night, however, their friends die in a car accident, leaving 2-year-old Sophie an orphan. In fact, they barely tolerate one another for the sake of their respective best friends. Then, in a montage sequence, their friends, Peter and Alison, get married, buy a house and have a daughter, Sophie. Their two best friends set them up on the blind date, but Holly and Messer mix like oil and water. The movie opens with a blind date for the two romantic lead characters, Holly Berenson and Eric Messer. The movie’s edgier aspects warrant strong caution for media-wise viewers. LIFE AS WE KNOW IT is a cute, funny and heartwarming, but somewhat edgy, romantic comedy about family life. ![]() MOVIEGUIDE® suggests strong caution for the movie’s problematic content.
