Life as We Know It is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Greg Berlanti, starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.

It was a financial success at the box office, but earned mostly unfavorable reviews from critics for its plot and script, but praised the lead performances and their chemistry.

Their best friends, Peter and Alison, set them up on a blind date that goes horribly wrong and results in both hating each other with a passion.

One evening, Holly is away at an important catering job when Eric is given the opportunity to direct a big basketball game.

Over time, the guardians discover that raising a child is more expensive than they had expected, so Holly can no longer afford to expand her business.

Eric helps by investing in her company, and they cement the new relationship by going on a date, which ends with them having sex and developing strong feelings.

Their Child Protective Services caseworker Janine tells them they must make a firm commitment, either to stay together, or break up, as waffling in between would be bad for Sophie.
