This movie did entertain with its comedic elements and a story that most audiences can relate to in some way, but the underlying construction of the plot was weak. Weak as in the entire storyline was predictable. It was somewhat unique with the tragic circumstance and the couple being thrown into guardianship (which we already even knew from the original trailer), but the rest of it was the epitome of a cliché. It hit on almost every romantic comedy cliché in the book: a player falling for the "good" responsible girl, two bickering always fighting people not realizing that they are in love, a misunderstanding with a breakup and a reunion, etc.The acting itself was solid across the board. I have seen a couple of other Katherine Heigl films and within the scope of those she doesn't seem to have much variability in her skills (not that she is bad in this). Her characters in Life as We Know It, Knocked Up, and 27 Dresses are almost all exactly the same in slightly different situations. Josh Duhamel also did a fine job but I am not as familiar with his work. To reiterate: an enjoyable funny romance but you will sarcastically be saying to yourself the whole time "I wonder what will happen next?"

In this romantic comedy, two people who really don't like each other become joint guardians of their best friends' infant daughter when catastrophe strikes. Katherine Heigl does a good job being Katherine Heigl with her usual blend of vulnerable and cattiness, and Josh Duhamel just plays "a guy", a mostly self-centered skirt-chaser, so he probably didn't really have to work too hard, but it was heart-warming to watch his character evolve as he spent more time with the kid. There aren't any big surprises and the ending is exactly what you'd expect (unless you've never seen a romantic comedy before), but overall I found this enjoyable, a fun escape if you're looking for a little light fare. 7/10

It is a given that all non-documentary movies require some suspension of disbelief. However, they are still required to meet some level of plausibility. This movie doesn't make it.The entire premise of the movie is that two people who can't stand each other would agree to take on the responsibility of raising a kid for parents who never bothered to tell them they were appointed as guardians. This is simply preposterous on too many levels for any rational human to accept. Maybe if this were sold as a fantasy, it might have a chance, but I doubt it would work.I bailed after the first half hour.

charming, nice and nothing new. a comedy in which actor are more important than tale. a child like spice, Tracey/Hepburn recipes, few slices of good humor and love as invincible conqueror. without chemistry, without a real story, but much crumbs of romance in very old forms. a Sunday movie behind work week. beautiful actors and insignificant child. a tragedy in strange clothes. the couple is only subject. parents of Sophie, social assistant, neighbors - only details . but real character is food. for few moments, suggestion, axis of events, sense/refuge of Holly, cage for doctor, calendar for Sophie. in fact, a movie about two beautiful people and their work for income.
