    Sparring Opposites Come together Romantic Comedy

    This movie provided a lot of laughs and a few tears. The chemestry between Kathrine & Josh was good. Melissa McCarthy (from Gilmore Girls) was great in her supporting role as one of the over the top neighbors. It is about two polar opposites that are best friends to a couple that get killed in a car crash who leave these two as co-guardians of their baby. They have to put aside their constant bickering and dislike for one another to try to be there for the baby. After the tears of losing their best friends pass the parenthood jokes begin. Anyone who has or work with children will appreciate a few of these. Messer (Josh's character) has to make a decision between the new family they have made or his career. It is light hearted for the most part. There is no excessive language in this comedy unlike some of the comedy releases of late.

    My Wife Loves the Josh

    Wife and I LOVED this movie. Laughed, cried. Lots of eye candy for the ladies, which is great for the gents...later. Pacing was great, acting was great, especially the babysitter. She stole every scene, and we wished there were more scenes with her in them. Nice to see Lucas working again.
    Great all around movie for a date with your wife or girlfriend. Believe me, guys won't be thinkin it's all lame, and girls...well, frickin A, it's got Josh struttin' around in his boxer briefs, so what more do you need?

    I'd go see it again and then by the DVD.

    It was a so so movie at best

    by midgard

    This movie has been done many times before, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. But you see the twists coming and you know how its all going to fall back into place by the end of the movie. It was kind of a slow movie on top of that, its worth a rental but save your money for next month when we start getting some good movies you want to see at the theater come out.

    It was cute.

    I did enjoy this movie. However I was a TAD disappointed because the fan reviews on here really hyped it up. I didnt like it as much as other people apparently but I did think it was real cute and a good movie to go see. People keep saying its a "date movie" but I disagree, my husband would never want to go see a movie like this on a date! lol

    Better than I expected

    A movie about a couple who inherit a baby when their friends are killed. The lead actors are very likable, and the baby is so adorable. How many takes must they have to get the reaction they want from the baby? I'm glad I didn't listen to the critics. If you like an easy, funny and touching movie , see it. Good for all ages.

    Great Movie

    We just loved this movie, it was so funny. Thought the storyline was well written, the acting was great as always with Katherine Heigl. I think this movie would be appropriate for all ages, but adults and teens would like it better than children.

    life as we know it

    I thought the movie had a great idea and funny moments. The actors fit the parts well. The ending fell a little short, needed more. Women will like the movie more than men. Both my husband and his friend said it was okay. I gave it an 8, pretty good:)

    Don't Believe the Reviews: This Film is Great

    If you love romantic comedies, you should truly enjoy "Life As We Know It." It has all the rom-com mainstays: attractive leading couple, a hilarious "Meet Cute," pretty outfits/fashion, interesting portrayal or fun occupations (she is a baker, he is director of basketball TV coverage), funny sideline characters, and, of course, a love story with real chemistry.

    Best of all, this movie doesn't ask the audience to just "accept" various plot points--it actually shows the characters falling in love, struggling with conflict, being outraged, being attracted, and ultimately living Happily Ever After. I spotted a couple of totally acceptable contrivances; but mostly, the story and relationship is believable and the characters are genuine.

    We've seen this story before, and we'll see it again, but it's been a while since I've seen it done so well. Top-notch acting; oh, and the leading man? I wasn't very familiar with Josh Dumhell (sp?), but I'm certainly a fan now!

    Life As We Know It

    This movie had a little bit of everything. Funny, sad, love and hate, all mixed into one movie. I really liked it alot. The only thing that would have made it better is if the sad parts had a little more depth to them.

    SO funny

    It had both my husband and I in tears and in laughing fits. SUCH a must see, but you don't need to see it in the theater. Rent it and love it! :)

    Pretty cute

    It's exactly what you think it is. Chick flick complete with a couple of tears and a bunch of parenting laughs. If you want a lighthearted (minus the few minutes when the parents die), feel good movie, you found it.
    The soundtrack was great.
