Life as We Know It
A romantic comedy about a pair of friends left with a baby girl to care for after her parents die in a car accident.
Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) is an up-and-coming caterer and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a promising network sports director. After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. When they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, however, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside.

Reviews & comments
The New York Times
pressIt's enough to say that the bland romantic comedy Life as We Know It, in which there is not a single deviation from formula, is well made for its corporate type.
Roger Ebert
pressSo anyway, what happens in Life As We Know It? You'll never guess in a million years. Never.
New York Post
pressPossibly because Heigl is one of the producers, the most beautiful woman in the film -- the stunning Christina Hendricks of "Mad Men" -- dies in an off-screen car crash barely before the opening credits are over.
Los Angeles Times
pressWhat you may not expect is quite how satisfying much of the film is, with Duhamel turning out to be a very good sparring partner for Heigl.
Hollywood Reporter
pressAlthough wholly predictable in its every beat and featuring bland, unremarkable WASPs as romantic leads, "Life" is not without its charms.
