Life As We Know It

After a disastrous first date for caterer Holly and network sports director Messer, all they have in common is a dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in this world, Holly and Messer must set their differences aside. Juggling careers and social calendars, they'll have to find common ground while living under the same roof.

Critics found 'Life As We Know It' a formulaic, poorly written romantic comedy that coasts almost entirely on the likability of its two leads. The real story here is the gap between press and public: audiences embraced it warmly while critics largely dismissed it as a hollow exercise in genre mechanics.
