Is it just me, or is every movie Katherine Heigl is in nearly the same story over and over? Lets see, there was 27 Dresses where she was a single woman trying to find love. Then there was the Ugly Truth about a woman trying to find love. And in her last movie she played you guessed it, a woman trying to find love, but in fact finds love with a assasin in The Killers. Well guess who is sticking to her same genre once again? You guessed it, Ms Heigl. After being the most entertaining part in Greys (yes I admit I used to watch it) Katherine decided after a few mediocre successful films to leave the popular show and go to being a full bonofide actress of the movie screen. But unfortuntely, it might have been a bit premature. Anyway, enough bitching about Katherine. Her new movie as I was saying is called, "Life As We Know It." It sees Katherine playing Holly and after her friends are killed in an accident, she is given the duty of raising their child. But she is not alone. Not only have the deceased parents given her the duty, they have also given the duty to one of their other friends, Eric (Josh Duhmal - Transformers). With them both given this new responsibility, they are asked to live in the same home and share their different lifestyles together. And I think you know where this is heading don't you? Oh Katherine, maybe you need to hire a new agent. It's getting a bit boring, and we all know you can pull off the drama why don't you branch out? Even Julia Roberts lost her romantic comedy card with roles in Erin Brockovich, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Closer. But I know I am being kind putting her in the same league as Julia as to me no one wears the romantic comedy tag like her. I think though Katherine is trying to give her a run for her money. Good luck with that. Until you play a hooker with a heart of gold, I don't think the movie going public is ready to embrace you in this genre just yet.
