Life As We Know It


Some champagne and some movies. What a lovely Saturday night one can have ;)

Life As We Know It with Katherine Heigl & Josh Duhamel is really a sweet, funny movie. I'm not a fan of Heigl, but I love like all the movies she is in :)
Holly and Eric were set up on a blind date by their friends, Peter and Allison who are married. A few years later after Peter and Allison were killed in an accident, they have named Holly and Eric as the guardians to their daughter, Sophie. So they move into their house and try their best to honor their friends' wishes. But raising a child puts a crimp on their style and they don't exactly get along.

Mine, Your and Ours with Rene Russo and Dennis Quaid is a romantic comedy about why you should use protection..haha.. Just joking, but 18 kids..yeah... not really what anyone would want...hehe..
High school sweethearts Frank Beardsley and Helen North are reunited when Frank and his family move back to his home town of New London. They are instantly attracted to each other and quickly decide to marry. They are quite cognizant of the fact that he already has eight children from his first marriage, and she has ten from her first marriage, hers a mixture of her biological offspring and a rainbow of adopted children. What may be more problematic is that he is an Admiral with the Coast Guard and as such has a very regimented view of how things should be done, whereas she is a free spirit - she is a designer by trade - with a more lackadaisical attitude. Their respective children, who are a product of their parent's views, hate each other. They however feel that they can better rid themselves of their new situation by joining forces to show their parents their respective philosophical differences about life. Regardless of if they achieve their goal, the kids' plan may also have some unexpected consequences.
Inside I´m Dancing (or alternative title Rory O´Shea was here) which we though would be a happy movie. It had its funny parts, but it wasn´t really nice to watch...
The story of Michael, a 24-year-old with cerebral palsy and long-term resident of the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled. His life is transformed when the maverick Rory O'Shea, moves in. Michael is stunned to discover that fast talking Rory, who can move only his right hand, can understand his almost unintelligible speech. Rory's dynamic and rebellious nature soon sparks a flame in Michael, introducing him to a whole new world outside Carrigmore. Together the two men outwit the system and set themselves up in a flat employing the beautiful Siobhan, as their personal assistant, to cook, clean and take care of their needs. She soon becomes integral to the boys efforts at successful independent living and begins to realise that this responsibility brings as many complications as it does rewards.
