Mixes Like Oil and Water

Warning: Spoilers
I don't understand comedies like "Life as We Know It". When are directors of this tripe going to understand that you cant mix sitcom humor and scripts with dramatic solemn issues. It does not work at all. Scene after scene we have sitcom dialog mixed in poorly with real-life situations of guardianship, death, and grieving. It adds up to a bad dish served. For instance we have the so-called social worker going from serious to wanna-be provocative exclaiming "You had sex" in one scene - ugh. No acquaintance to say less than a business relationship speaks like that. The neighbors were vapid, the couple especially the Messner character did not see believable at all. By the end, you have your Hollywood made for screen-groups ending. Do yourself a favor and skip this dud.
