Life As We Know It

Everybody dreams of having a happy family. Such a happy family comprises of two loving partners (din't want to restrict this to a man-woman combo) and 1, 2 or 3 children (I have seldom heard people mention a number larger than this). The happy-family concept also seldom or possibly never includes in-laws lurking in the background or foreground. ;) I'm not kidding but I just wanted to say something cliched about in-laws.
Anyway, I'm rewriting this blog because I've watched the movie (fully) many times and again today and I haven't stopped enjoying it. So, it deserves to be re-reviewed. 
This is a romantic comedy and its the kind I always love to watch. The story was slightly different while following the same pattern of man-woman-meet, fall-in-love, some-misunderstanding and together-forever. I love the lead actors (Katherine Heigl & Josh Duhamel) and they share a great chemistry in the movie. Josh is a handsome, all-american dude and who wouldn't consider having a family with him. He wears a confused but endearing look for most part of the movie. He's awesome, girls. 

The story is about two single people who are required to take care of their friend's baby after the unfortunate parents die in a car accident. Parenting is hard and that's what these two realize. But, it also makes them love and want to be a family. Apart from the lead actors who are a handsome duo, there are other characters who also make the movie enjoyable. The social worker. The neighbors. You'll just appreciate all of them.
I also watched "Love and Other Drugs" after "Life As We Know It" but that one didn't do it for me. It followed the same theme but the woman had a chronic illness. Not happy!
