This was really cute. A very enjoyable crowd-pleaser. The baby was adorable and it almost makes me want one :P.

I felt really bad for Sam (Josh Lucas) though.


8/10 (B+)

Important Note:

If you haven't seen this movie yet, I encourage you to do so because there's lots to love about it.

But then I strongly urge you to walk out of the theatre or shut off your DVD at around the 80 minute mark, and proceed to make up your own ending in your imagination.

Trust me. You'll be glad ya did!

Once you've completed these instructions, please feel free to read my review below...



Spoiler: show
Life As We Know It had me!

It had me all the way up to the three quarter mark.

Then then the damn thing flew off the rails like it was Unstoppable...

But, what can I say: I really dug the unlikely but possible set-up. Very nice. Kudos to the writers (at least up until the point I hated them near the end).

And how can you not adore that Katherine Heigl? She's such a capable cutey! Though she will need to keep up her earlier high standards of projects, not go slummin' it in such schmutz as Killers.

Plus I'm pretty much an unabashed Josh Duhamel fanboy ever since the delight known as Win A Date With Tad Hamilton.

Yeah, well... this movie spun it's enchantments only so far (though I almost wish the bad quarter had been any other than the last). To end as this film did - - is to me - - the very definition of disheartening.

If this movie was edited to include a great last act, or even if the existing crappy last act was simply cut out altogether and the film then fades to black with the hip soundtrack swelling in the background, well then I'd rate this SOMB-ROM-COM a 30-55 out of 5.

But as it stands, I gotta dolefully go with a mere:


4 out of 5.
