Life as we know it

"Life as we know it"

Watched English movie "Life as we know it". This movie is directed by Greg Berlanti. Produced by Barry Josephson and Paul Brooks. Written by Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson. Music Blake Neely, Cinematography Andrew Dunn. It stars Catherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel in lead roles, supported by Josh Lucas, Chritina Hendrics, Brooke Calgett. I watched the movie on Netflix with Aditi on 4th Jun 2020.

Friends (a couple) try to set up blind date of Messer and Holly. It's a disaster. They are very different. They hate each other. The couple dies in an accident and appoint Messer and Holly as guardians of Sophie, their toddler daughter. 

Will they accept guardianship? Can they stand each other? What will happen to Sophie?

It's a predictable story. Two persons hate each other. Fight. Compromise. What next? You know what. This movie is how that happens. 

Josh appears stiff while acting. He also wears a bad wig with bad hair style. Would have preferred another actor for the role. Catherine looks bad in the first scene,  beautiful some times and good otherwise. She is good, and acts well. Other characters support well. The Baby is very cute. 

The movie starts well, develops well, continues well but the end comes suddenly. The curve is smooth for most of the time but then suddenly falls. This should have been managed properly. 

Cinematography is good. Especialy the appetizing food items and the beautiful house. 

Watch it if you have time.
