Orlando Sentinel
As uneven as it is, Life as We Know It still goes down like comic comfort food, especially for anybody who's ever dealt with parenthood. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Although wholly predictable in its every beat and featuring bland, unremarkable WASPs as romantic leads, "Life" is not without its charms. - 60
Variety
It's a predictable date-night diversion. - 60
Movieline
Despite these two actors' decent - and occasionally very charming - performances the film stacks the odds of the audience caring about Heigl and Duhamel against a narrative vacuum that favors eye candy and cheap effect over emotional logic. - 40
Village Voice
The feminine fantasies Berlanti seemingly seeks to stoke are undercut by a vibe that's weirdly misogynistic. - 40
Time Out
Brittle, workaholic and bitterly single does not a Kate Hepburn make, and in this latest screen iteration of The Taming of the Heigl, she doesn't stray far enough from her standard rom-com shtick. - 40
Austin Chronicle
It's the best date-night movie to hit the screens in a while, which, considering the competition, is very faint praise. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
So anyway, what happens in Life As We Know It? You'll never guess in a million years. Never.
