Better than average. Worse than I thought it would be.

Two polar opposites stuck to raise a child. Together. After their mutual friends are killed in a car accident, they're the only option. What else happens is not only predictable, but almost inevitable. I hate to say this, because I love Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, but the script is pretty run of the mill.

While it begins charming and fairly clever, it quickly devolves into a messy bitter sweet wallow through the ilk of parenting. Sometimes it still retains some comic fun, but the rest is a frankly uninteresting hour long argument.
