About

You’ll probably like Life Happens if you enjoy chick-flick comedies about friendship, grown-up roommates, and the chaos of motherhood; Not for you if you want consistently laugh-out-loud humor or realistic parenting stories, and skip it over Love, Rosie or Sex and the City.

Pros: light, witty friendship; relatable single-mom moments; likable female leads | Cons: uneven jokes; some cringe accents; predictable, formulaic feel
