Ah, it's that time of year again the humidity breaks, the temps come down, and the multiplex sees the annual release of a rom-com starring a charmingly neurotic Katherine Heigl locked into a sexually tense banter-fest with a guy she claims to hate. Since I seriously doubt anyone is heading to the theater without already knowing exactly how this movie will end (and being able to predict a solid 80 percent of the middle), I don't think anyone who willingly walks into the cinema is going to be disappointed by this film.
That said, it's not necessarily a good film. Life As We Know It is a sweet-though-predictable story your mom will love and at least one of your friends will find vaguely misogynistic. No tricky questions concerning maternity or relationships are raised by the material, even as the characters run the gamut of romantic turmoil.
