![]() ![]() The transfer is clean and free of any defects or other flubs that may detract from viewing pleasure. A faint layer of grain covers the picture adding that familiar filmic look. Faces tend toward orange on the color scale due to the slightly higher temperature of the movie itself. Primary colors are slightly oversaturated adding to a very warm and inviting color palette. The rest of the 1080p AVC encoded presentation is your standard rom-com/unexpected-and-tragic-death/orphan-comedy fare. Probably safe to assume Katherine Heigl demanded it. ![]() Bright whites and lights give off a soft halo, which is no doubt a directorial choice, but I can't fathom exactly why it was even used on this movie. I'm not sure why, but 'Life as We Know It' seems to have been shot with a diffuse filter on the entire time. It also comes complete with a DVD Digital Copy. 'Life as We Know It' comes to Blu-ray on a 50GB Blu-ray Disc. Who would do this to their friends without consulting them first? Who would trust the care of their child to two single people who hate each other? I understand that it makes for a mildly interesting movie plot on paper, but a situation like this should never, ever happen. Its premise holds less water than one of Sophie's diapers. I must admit I chuckled a few times, but the majority of this movie is painfully predictable, and utterly ridiculous. Even when the movie tries to put its own spin on the dramatic race to the airport scene (yes there's one of those in here), we know exactly how it's all going to play out. We know exactly what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. From the way the characters act to the way the story plays out. ![]() ![]() This movie is dreadfully clichéd in every single way. The third act features the fight and makeup. The second act shows how the two who once loathed each other are now, gasp falling for each other (totally didn't see that coming). The first act features a seemingly insurmountable task that the two leads must overcome. 'Life as We Know It' follows the tired rom-com formula. Plenty of montages whip by as time passes and the two of them become more and more comfortable in their situation. The first chance they get they're at each other's throats. They move in together and we all know what's going to happen. If you're keeping track that means not only have these two people been left a child, they've also been left a house, which they both have to move into, because the will says so, and in a movie adhering to a will is tantamount to common sense. Now Messer and Holly must get along for the good of the baby, and just so things could get even more bizarre, Allison and Peter also left their house to Holly and Messer so Sophie could grow up in her own home. Oh, and did I mention that Holly and Messer hate each other? Wow, this is just ripe for comedic gold, right? Because nothing says friendship like pawning off your kid on your best friends without letting them know. Holly and Messer are soon informed that Allison and Peter had named them legal guardians. After a tragic car accident Allison and Peter's child, Sophie, is left an orphan. Their best friends were Allison and Peter. Here, Holly and Messer are single people who have jobs and apartments. Strange requests in a dead person's will always make for fun shenanigans in the movies. I'm pretty sure this is the most outrageous request from a dead person since Brewster's uncle told him to spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit $300 million. At least that's what happens to Holly (Katherine Heigl) and Messer (Josh Duhamel) when their recently deceased friends leave them a kid. ![]()
