| FILMINK (Australia)Alicia MaloneNever deviates from the romantic comedy guidebook. It delivers exactly what you would expect, and nothing further; tears, laughter, romance, and plenty of cute baby moments, awkwardly wrapped in a tragic situation. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIf Stephen King wrote a romantic comedy, this would be it. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamIt aims for comfort food, but ends up with leftovers. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThe film should end a half-hour earlier than it does, but I guess we needed another film in which someone brings their disruptive kid to work or another scene where a desperate lover rushes through an airport. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThere's clearly no reason to watch this movie, and I'm not suggesting you should. I was just glad it didn't make geysers of blood spurt from my ears, that's all. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleEvery moment, however seemingly haphazard and casually presented, is keyed to the progress of a young man from lost to not so lost. |
| Kansas City StarJason HeckThis exercise in cynical formulaic movie construction is best avoided, unless insomnia's been a problem. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA sweet and warm comedy that always brings its focus back to the laughs even when dealing with very real and serious relationship issues. |

| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkLife As We Know It contains what has to be the most unappetizing setup in romantic comedy history. |
