Life as we know it is a hilarious movie with drama and romance added in it. The movie was released in 2010 and is directed by Greg Berlanti.
Life as we know it is a story about two people who can’t stand eachother, Holly (Katherine Heigl) and Eric (Josh Duhamel), and who are forced to take a huge responsibility together. Holly is a control freak and hard working bakery owner and Eric is working as a televisions technical sports director and he’s a huge womanizer. These two are the exact opposites and the only thing they have in common is that they happen to be the godparents of the third main character of the story, a little babygirl Sophie.
The movie has a really sad beginning when Sophies parents pass away and the baby is left to Holly and Eric. They are both named as Sophies caretakers so they have to start living together and start looking after her. From that moment on there will be a lot of fun scenes when these two, Holly and Eric, try to be good parents. This movie reveals the horrors and wonders of parenthood in a humorous way. It’s interesting to watch how these two so very different people and little Sophie are starting to become a family.
Life as we know it is suitable for those who want to watch something light and hilarious. I myself like these kind of movies the most and this one is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. The subject of the movie might not be very unique or fresh, but who doesn’t love a good romanctic comedy? All the little details of the story make it easy to empathise. The secret of this films excellence is that the main characters are played by Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel. These two work well together and make the movie worth watching.
