Release Date: 8 October 2010

Genre : comedy, drama

Casting: Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Josh Lucas

Memorable quote: Josh Duhamel: Are you happy to get rid of your life? because your old life sucked?

What it’s all about: A tragedy evolves into a love story. A couple dies in a car accident and a small baby is left behind. That's the tragic part, the funny part. The baby girl and their house are inherited by their best 2 friends. The sad fact is that those two individuals can't stand each other. Each one is living his life, habits and dreams, till they are pushed into this delicate situation.

Why yes? The first part of the movie is funny, and then it becomes really sad. Especially for parents, I need to say that I really felt something there. Then the movie becomes again funny and even hilarious during a couple of scenes. Then it continues and everything happens as we believe it will. We are not the same, we try, we try a bit harder we have a small fight, we hate each other and then we can't live without each other and bam you have a romantic movie.

Why not? The story is the same but in a different package. You get two adults who have nothing in common, find a reason to fall in love, to get married children, bla, bla. Etc. I think its lame that we cannot come up with better ideas.
Katherine Heigl plays always the same role, neat, business woman and single, get something new. Josh Duhamel was quite good for the part, none of them really excelled here.

Well...

Really nothing special here, lame romantic chick/ housewife movie, which isn't worth watching at the movies. Chicks don’t do this to your men, take another chick and cry together on a nice, big bowl of Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream bowl. Because of all the above I grade this one...

Grade: (6 out of 10)
