Load of rubbish!!

FrogGlace

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Ariella Broughton

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I bought this film unsure and skeptical of the enjoyment I would have while watching it. Moments into the movie, however, I discovered these feelings were completely unwarranted.This dramatic-comedy of sorts was an impeccable combination of happiness, sadness, guilt, insecurity, and self-discovery. I found myself clenching my side in pain from laughter, drying my tear-filled eyes, and cringing from embarrassment. It is true that this movie is painfully unrealistic in many defining scenes, but that is the beauty of drama and/or comedy. I did not order a documentary -- I ordered a film whose main purpose was to elicit both forgotten and familiar emotions from within me -- and that it did, without doubt. So, in short, I am very pleased with Life as We Know It, and I recommend it to anyone reading this review.

Yet another movie with low ratings that I do not understand, nor do I wish to understand. I don't care why people didn't like it. All that matters to me, is that I liked it. It's the only thing that counts. Just because people don't like a certain movie, doesn't mean it's not good. And I know that the general population voting that it's not a great movie, usually means it's not, but you may like it.This movie is about Holly and Messer getting thrown into an impossible situation. Years ago they were set up by their two best friends, but the date didn't go well. They spend the next few years having to interact with each other, for the sake of their friends. But when their best friends, Peter and Alison, die in a car crash and they are appointed custody of their young daughter, Sophie. Holly and Messer try to share the responsibilities of parenthood, but at times think it wasn't the best decision being named guardians.Recommended for: Katherine Heigl fans, comedy fans, romantic comedy fans.Best part of the movie: When Messer and Holly work things out.Worst part of the movie: The poop scene.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

Okay. Let's give this a try. Holly and Eric are given the responsibility to raise small baby Sophie after their best friends perish in a horrible car crash. Problem is, they can't stand each other. Thing is, this is a bad romantic comedy, which means their unwanted roles will only be a disguised blessing where they will find true love… in one another. See where I'm going yet?This premise will sooner or later take us to a scene where small baby Sophie has unloaded on her diaper. Holly and Eric must change it for the greater good. But, they haven't done this before, so they are required to make faces that show their disapproval for, you know, poop. And of course, poop will somehow find its way on places where it's not supposed to be.Oh. In one of the movie's earlier scenes, some marijuana is confiscated. In bad romantic comedies, no marijuana remains unused. Later on, it's in the hands of Holly and Eric, and they use the sweet and innocent art of baking to consume it. Soon enough, the two of them are, I guess, having fun.Read more here: http://localmoviereview.com/life-as-we-know-it-movie- review/

At first I watch this movie for Josh Duhamel, but after watching it I realized that it is not only the actors or actresses make the movie great, but also the story line, the lovely relationship and, and everything in this movie. Being in a relationship is hard, but relationship like Holly and Messer is even harder. They did not like each other at first, actually they kind of loathed each other. But as time went by, for Soph's sake, there was something joyful but not explainable generated. It is love, but it is also more than love. It is not just the sort of "I love you and you love me" thing, it is about the whole family, it is the kind of love full of responsibility. I'd like to call Sophie a Cupid, because she is exactly the one who brings Holly and Messer together. Amy is right, these guys just make a cute couple. Lovers are supposed to be like this, I mean solving problems together with some lovely fights that can only bring the lovers even tighter. Life is not always delighting, sometimes we need the right person to help us cope with all the problems, because that's all what love is about.
