What critics compared Life As We Know It to
Virtual unknown Chris Diamantopoulous, Sean Hayes (2008's " Soul Men "), and Will Sasso (2010's " Life as We Know It ")?as well as child counterparts Skyler Gisondo (2007's " Halloween "), newcomer Lance Chantiles-Wertz, and Robert Capron (2011's " Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules ")?have perfected the looks and mannerisms of the original Moe, Larry and Curly right down to the most subtle of actions and facial expressions.
This is Larry (Sean Hayes: Soul Men , Igor ), Curly (Will Sasso: Life as We Know It ), and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), and screenwriter-director Farrelly brothers Peter and Bobby ( The Heartbreak Kid , Shallow Hal ) figure they can attach a plot to this -- about Sofia Vergara ( New Year's Eve , Happy Feet Two ) hiring them to kill her husband, holy god make it stop -- and it will be acceptable entertainment to those who have achieved control of their bowels.
In the Katherine Heigl movie Life as We Know It, she and not-very-good-friend Josh Duhamel had a friend's baby thrust upon them, and playing the family had them falling in love and actually eventually being a family.
Megan (Melissa McCarthy from "Mike & Molly," "Life as We Know It" and "The Back-up Plan") is the groom's assertive overweight sister.
Helen (Rose Byrne of "Get Him to the Greek") is a snobby socialite with boundary issues; Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey) needs a sabbatical from her lackluster marriage; Becca (Ellie Kemper) is naive to a fault; and Megan (Melissa McCarthy of "Life as We Know It") toes the line between fiercely unabashed and downright vulgar.Annie's world continues to unravel as she desperately tries to connect with Lillian's bridesmaids and plan pre-wedding events despite Helen's incessant intrusion.
Melissa McCarthy (2010's " Life as We Know It "), disappearing into her part as the slightly butch, sexually voracious Megan, is ace with delivering punchlines, hitting the bullseye nearly every time.
