Holly Berenson

Katherine Heigl is Holly Berenson in the movie Life as we know it. She is an awesome cook and owns a bakery in Atlanta. But her life is empty because she is not married. Her friends set up a date for her with Eric Messer whom she denied dating. But they both end up being Godparents of Sophie, their friends daughter.

Now after their friends accident, Holly and Messer are the only guardian who can take care of this child.
Holly wants to take care of Sophie (just like every motherly woman would do) but Messer doesn't really accepts this change in life. Holly tries to convince Messer to stay at the same house and to take care of Sophie because their friends believed in them.
Holly tries her best to match up to her professional and new personal life.

And then the normal romantic problems starts when Holly falls for Messer and he has to leave to grab a great opportunity.
We all know what the ending is going to be like, hero and heroine meet in the end.
But what is so good about this movie is inclusion of such a twist (presence of a baby) in a couple's life and how do they react in that situation.
There were quite a few funny scenes with Holly, like the one where she has "shit on her face"

Katherine gave a good come back after this movie. Her acting was genuine throughout the scenes.
