In Life as We Know It, Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel discover that their closest friends have appointed them guardians of their child in the unlikely event of their joint death--an unlikely event that has just happened. Make no mistake: There's no reason this movie should have been any good. The premise is the worst kind of formulaic Hollywood claptrap; the pleasant but cautious Heigl (Knocked Up) is playing yet another uptight fussbudget; since a promising movie debut in the underrated Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, Duhamel has largely coasted on his looks in tripe like the Transformers movies--yet Life as We Know It is surprisingly likable. After the movie gets through the basic exposition--and navigates some radical shifts in tone with unexpected deftness--the script somehow manages to make its clichés into something resembling real human situations. The colorful supporting characters are all entertainingly written and well played by a solid cast. And both Heigl and Duhamel give understated, engaging performances that manage to make the inevitable conclusion seem almost not inevitable. Director Greg Berlanti (The Broken Hearts Club) deserves kudos for skillfully balancing humor and pathos and turning this unpromising material into a sincere and enjoyable movie. --Bret Fetzer
The cynical yet tender tale of a group of gay friends living in Hollywood, all ultimately in search of one true love.
In an endearing and funny coming-of-age story Dennis can't quite decide if his friends are a blessing or a curse. Benji is a punkish youth whose obsession with gym bods gets him into trouble. Howie is an annoyingly overanalysing psychology grad student who can't let go of his ex-boyfriend. Cole is a ""pretty boy"" actor who goes through guys like clean underwear. Patrick is a painfully ordinary ""average Joe"" whose insecurity has turned him bitter. Taylor is the resident drama queen who prides himself on his LTR (long-term relationship) only to find himself sleeping single in a double bed. Jack is the group's wizened patriarch whose restaurant is a haven for them all. And then there's Kevin the nave ""newbie"" and most recent addition to the club. To an outsider it may seem like the only thing these friends have in common is that they play on the same team but when times get tough these friends are more like family.
