The film is so pleasant, in the end the director and stories capability surprise, as it flirts with something truly serious. [Full review in Spanish]

Where Baby Boom gave hope, Life as We Know It brings despair.

| Jan 9, 2021

The comedy is mediocre, the progression of events are predictably contrived, and the character designs are generic.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Do you have any doubt how this is going to end up? Of course you don't.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

... in this case, the characters were so benign I didn't care about either of them. I'm a big crier at movies, and the only thing that elicited any emotion from me was the baby.

| Mar 8, 2019

But given that the supporting characters aren't bad, what could have been another awful romcom turns into something half decent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2018

How much you like Life As We Know It greatly depends on your tolerance of Katherine Heigl.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 14, 2013

Sure, we know where the story is headed but a few funny scenes and the chemistry between the two leads make this a solid date movie.

| Original Score: 3.0/5 | Jan 6, 2013

while there is some chemistry between [the leads], it's wasted as the shambolic plot gives them nowhere to go.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2011

Life As We Know It is Studio Filmmaking As We Fear It.

| Apr 5, 2011

A half-decent, half-trite, mostly mediocre bowl of mushy strained baby food.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

If you have a taste for poop and projectile-vomit jokes, you'll find some chuckles ... but don't go out of your way to hire a babysitter.

| Mar 14, 2011

The core idea of the film is as off-putting as the way in which the premise is depicted.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 9, 2011

It does nothing new, offers nothing new, attempts nothing new, a formula picture from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 2, 2011

Genuinely heartfelt and surprisingly effective in the departments of both laughs and tears, and represents an uptick in the notably declining career of star Katherine Heigl.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 27, 2010

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2010

As cheerily banal and smilingly forgettable as its slice-of-life comic-strip title. Should really be called Bringing Up Baby in Bourgeois-Land. This isn't a realistic, romantic, or comic family anyone should give a baby-poop about.

| Nov 2, 2010

The only reason I gave this two stars is because director Greg Berlanti has a knack for directing a bevy of babies.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2010

The film should end a half-hour earlier than it does, but I guess we needed another film in which someone brings their disruptive kid to work or another scene where a desperate lover rushes through an airport.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 30, 2010

In lieu of any real humour, we are subjected to a parade of tired spew-and-poo baby jokes and the age-old odd couple scenario, which Heigl and Duhamel admittedly handle nicely despite a flat script.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 24, 2010
