Life as We Know It

"Life as We Know It" is about Holly and Eric. There was another couple, Peter and Allison who are happily married. Holly was best friends with Allison and Eric was best friends with Peter. Once Peter and Allison had a baby whose name is Sophie, Holly and Eric become Sophie’s godparents. At one point, Holly and Eric were set up on a blind date and it was a disaster. They were not meant to be together. But one night, Allison and Peter both die in a car crash leaving their daughter Sophie to Holly and Eric. This seems absolutely crazy because Holly and Eric just couldn’t be together; But they had to take care of Sophie because she had no one else. Holly and Eric set their differences aside and tried to raise Sophie as best as they could. Of course, they run into some problems on the way.

The one problem I have with romantic comedies is that all the stories seem to be the same. This movie actually proved me wrong. Even though this movie was depressing at times, I still laughed at many different parts of the story. The amusing parts weren’t predictable and were original. One of the qualities of this movie was that it was realistic. The plot of the movie seemed like it could happen to someone in the world.
