LoginTo be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but somehow, I still ended up watching the damned thing. Well, sure, it turned out to be a really generic and predictable romantic-comedy but, probably because I had such low expectations, I didn’t think it was so bad after all. Indeed, Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel were both quite charismatic and they had a nice chemistry together. Still, there is no doubt that the concept was pretty weak though. Above all, it is still so cringe-inducing to see such movie characters struggling to take care of one baby. For example, back then, my grand-parents had no less than 7 kids and it is always rather pathetic to see some adults having such a hard time with one single toddler (I myself raised 3 children and I never experienced such despair). Seriously, you even get a scene during which they are in panic just because they have to change a diaper which was just so lame. And, yet, I did like this couple and with a slightly less generic approach, it could have been actually interesting. Anyway, to conclude, I have to admit that my rating was probably generous here and I guess it might be worth a look but only if you really love the genre.

There are a few things about this movie that are really annoying. The first being the fact that we don't get to know the parents of baby Sophie very well, so we as the audience don't feel anything when they're suddenly gone.
Second thing is Holly and Messer's shock to being guardians of their baby. For Sophie's first birthday party, the parents ask if they can take a picture of their baby with her 'GOD parents', which just about everyone knows is the people who take care of the children if something happens to their parents.
Surely being named god parents is a big clue there, but it doesn't click for either of them.
I was quite looking forward to watching a romantic comedy with Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be.
It follows the plot of most romantic comedies with two characters who either don't know each other or hate each other, work through a crisis, no real surprises, because you know it'll all work out in the end... a little predictable.
The comedy pretty much revolved around the baby half the time, which makes you think if the baby wasn't in it, it would be really boring. I love the neighbourhood watch gang too, they're hilarious. But Heigl and Duhamel were a little disappointing.
Overall a 7/10 because it could have been a lot better.

I finally sat down and watched this, have been looking forward to it for quite some time, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Like most romantic comedies, it follows a pretty predictable formula, which you expect to see, so there were absolutely no surprises, but I do like the pairing of Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. It's a well written, well cast and acted movie, it's very entertaining, moving, and perfect for when you're in the mood for sappy, emotional, romantic comedy fare.
