The journey is brightened by a strong chemistry between the two leads, who find themselves raising a baby with often very funny results. So this film is all about the journey, and not the destination. But this being a hollywood romantic comedy, the outcome of the story, about a man and woman who agree to take care of a baby when both their friends have passed away in a car accident is obvious from the word go. I was surprised to find out that it wasn’t as bad as they (the critcs) said it was. I’m not a fan of Katherine Heigl or Josh Duhamel, and the plot seemed dumb, so basically my expectations were pretty low. If you want to live a stress-free life, then it’s better to skip ‘Life As We Know It’ and take a nap.Confession: I expected the worst here. If you make a sport out of people shouting and quarreling on screen for close to two hours, then watch ‘Life As We Know It’. To call ‘Life As We Know It’ a romantic comedy is a misnomer. Josh Lucas adds to the man-candy for Heigl’s Holly but he is there to look good, not to contribute. Its support cast which includes Melissa McCarthy, Andy Daly, and Sarah Burns take on the funny mantle instead, however far and in between their scenes are. The shrill verbal volleyball between Heigl’s and Duhamel’s characters may be comedy fodder but in the real world, it can be considered child abuse.

Alas, it’s a movie rife with bickering leads in Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, who have been tasked to raise a child, one of the most important duties parents –in their case, godparents- are supposed to take seriously.

‘Life As We Know It’ would have worked as a sitcom and it is actually directed by Greg Berlanti, creator of TV dramedies ‘Everwood’, ‘Jack and Bobby’, and ‘Brothers and Sisters’. Will Holly and Messer be able to stick it out for the sake of the child? Is this a disaster waiting to happen? This is ‘Life As We Know It’, a romantic comedy starring two mismatched characters and a cute baby. The catch: Holly and Messer have to live in one roof or Sophie will go straight to foster care. They’ve never been friendly ever since, but when Peter and Alison die in a car crash, they are suddenly entrusted the care of their one-year-old daughter, Sophie. On a blind date set up by their married friends Peter and Alison (Christina Hendricks), Messer offends Holly to oblivion with his jerky bachelor ways. Holly’s a manager at an upscale food shop while Messer is a live sports TV director. Holly (Katherine Heigl) and Messer (Josh Duhamel) are a match in dating hell.
