LIFE AS WE KNOW IT **½

Greg Berlanti directed this Romantic Comedy. Watch Preview Cast:Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Josh Lucas, Christina Hendricks, Hayes MacArthur. Rated PG-13 for sexual material, language and some drug content. Running time is one hour and forty-two minutes.

An up-and-coming caterer (Heigl) and a promising network sports director (Duhamel) have two things in common: their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world,  they have to find some common ground while living under one roof.

 As far as the plot goes, this is a very typical romantic comedy. You already know how it will end before it starts and there are no surprises along the way. What sets this above average for the genre is the cast, which is very good. Heigl and Duhamel have excellent screen presence and chemistry which makes the film very enjoyable. While it's hard to give such a predictable picture a high rating, you will have a good time and a lot of laughs should you decide to see it. Fans of Jean Smart will spot her as Heigl's mother although she is not credited. Theatres/Times.
