project 100: life as we know it

finally got to squeeze in a movie in my busy-busyhan schedule.

first saw this movie, at least the first few minutes of it, last January at AD's. since I dozed off to la-la-land in the first few minutes of it, I really thought it was boring. glad I gave it a second chance ☺

when their friends peter and alison died in a car crash, holly (katherine heigl) and messer (josh duhamel) were left with the guardianship of their goddaughter, sophie. these two hasn't gotten along ever since; hence, the set-up that guardianship calls seems impossible. but they gave it a try. and as what usually happens in rom-com movies, they fall in love albeit their mutual dislike for each other.

i'm a sucker for rom-coms so automatically, i like it. plus, sophie's such a cutie.
is it just me or do most of katherine heigl's (recent) movies require her to play the role of control freaks? such as 27 dresses, the ugly truth and this movie. no violent reaction here though cos i think she portrays it just perfectly.
the only thing that seems so sudden in this movie was the development of messer's feelings towards holly. he was obviously not attracted to her and when he sees that there's someone who likes holly, all of a sudden he decides to like her. what's up with that? i just wish that they made messer show even just a few hints that he's attracted to her before the story goes into fast forward. but it's okay cos they ended up together. yay!
i really wanna learn how to bake cupcakes cos i'm seriously considering it as an alternate career. seriously.
holly describes her cake shop as a small store chuvachenes and this reminds me of myself when people ask me what i do for a living and i tell them i have this small nail salon (which i intend to make big. soon)

it was a fun watch and again here goes that theme about life and how it happens when you're planning something else. makes me want to give up planning for good. ha. my youngest sister highly recommended that i watch this and i think i know why- she can totally relate to it. having kids totally changed her life. oh well.
