Tragedy and comedy collide in the romantic comedy mess LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. Katherine Heigel and Josh Duhamel are de facto surrogate parents after mutual friends die in an auto accident, leaving their young son in the hands of these singles. Even if you buy into the far-fetched set-up, there’s little to accept from these sometimes selfish and often foolish characters.
4) VALENTINE'S DAYThere’s nothing sweet that comes from VALENTINE’S DAY. This bloated, syrupy and ridiculous romantic comedy, mixes several story line and stars, each of which is less compelling then the next. Some things could only happen in the movies, and others could only happen in a Garry Marshall movie. This one is the latter.
3) COP OUT
COP OUT busts in minus any thrills or laughs. Writer-director Kevin Smith hits rock bottom with this so-called, buddy-cop comedy starring Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Sean William Scott. Each star is type cast in a role that is equally unfunny and annoying. The only thing less effective than Smith’s by-the-book script, is the half-hearted action sequences pasted in between the ineffective humor. COP OUT lives up to its title.
