Movie Review for Parents
-by Ginger
This movie, Life As We Know It, is rated as a comedy that centers around two single adults who become the caregivers to two orphaned girls, as a result of a car accident where their mutual friends die. They inherit a large house, a wonderful child, and a family. The comedy surrounds dirty diapers, learning to live together and other comic events, many of which might be familiar to any parent.
Movie review information for parents: Life As We Know It was rated PG-13 for sexual material, language and some drug content. The sexual material largely centers around romantic love, references to condoms and other such colorful content. I would not recommend it to children under the age of 13 for these reasons. If you take younger children, you might have some explaining to do when you get home, so it might be best if they go to a baby sitter. This is an adult film that relies on humor that only someone who has had children would understand. Younger children probably would not get all of the references to having babies and adult social situations. As a parent, I would definitely agree with the MPAA on this one and only take those 13 and older to see it.
