Life As We Know It

Movie Name: Life as we know it
Genre: Drama, Comedy, Romance
Language: English
I watched this movie today only as I was in a mood to watch some light drama on weekend morning.
The plot is not complicated. Two persons with entirely different personality are given the custody of one year old child. The story dwells in managing the child care, arranging their lives accordingly and finally mitigate their differences to make a happy family.
The movie enforces the fact that for any child, the foremost requirement is loving and caring parents. The family is more important than the individuals. There are some nice moments when the protagonists are trying to manage the child care. There are not much highly dramatic scenes as the movie tries to be on the lighter side. The ending is a cliched one.
Acting wise both Heigi and Josh has done well in a role of clueless parents. The chemistry between them is subtle. The child is adorable. The background music is soothing and conveys the feeling of the drama being unfolded.
My rating is 3.5/5.0
