* DeadStarWalking: Creator/ChristinaHendricks was a big enough game at the time of the film to assume she would be one of the main characters, but turns out to actually be one half of the couple whose death kickstarts the plot of the film.

''Life as We Know It'' is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Creator/GregBerlanti, starring Creator/KatherineHeigl and Creator/JoshDuhamel.
Holly Berenson (Heigl) is the owner of a small Atlanta bakery, and Eric Messer (Duhamel) is a promising television technical sports director for the Atlanta Hawks. After a disastrous blind date, Eric and Holly would be glad to never see each other again. But their friends -- the ones who had set them up -- die in a car crash, and had given them joint custody of their toddler, forcing them to put aside their differences to raise the child together, for which they'll have to improve themselves (and their relationship) in the process.
It was released on October 8, 2010.

* ChildrenRaiseYou: After a disastrous blind date, Eric and Holly would be glad to never see each other again. But their friends — the ones who had set them up — die in a car crash, and had given them joint custody of their toddler, forcing them to put aside their differences to raise the child together, improving themselves (and their relationship) in the process.
* DepartmentOfChildDisservices: Played with and discussed. Eric and Holly's social worker turns out to be quite competent, but Messer thinks it was way too easy for him and Holly to get custody over Sophie in the first place.
-->'''Judge Gorling:''' I hereby grant joint legal and physical custody of Sophie Christina Novak to Holly Berenson and Eric Messer.\\
'''Eric:''' That's it? You're not gonna ask us anything? How do you know we're not drug dealers or pimps?\\
'''Judge Gorling:''' Are you drug dealers or pimps?\\
'''Holly:''' No, ma'am! No.\\
''[later, at home]''\\
'''Eric:''' Done! Next case! [[SarcasmMode "Here, take a kid. No, take two; we've got extra."]]
* ParentingTheHusband: Eric and Holly aren't married, but they must take care of a kid together that has them having to effectively work as a couple, and Holly ends up having to take care of Eric as much of she takes care of Sophie, the baby.
* RomComJob: Holly is the owner of a small Atlanta bakery, ideal for rom com shenanigans.
* UptightLovesWild: Holly is an uptight bakery owner, and Eric is a free-wheeling player. Naturally, they fall themselves falling for each other.
* WhoWillTakeTheKids: What kickstarts the plot is Holly and Eric's friends Peter and Alison being killed in a car crash, and Holly and Eric learning that their friends named them Sophie's joint guardians, which they accept after finding that none of Peter and Alison's relatives are fit to take care of Sophie.
