Warning: possible spoilers.
Holly and Eric Messer (he's referred to as Messer) had a dreadful first date when their friends Peter and Alison set them up.
Now, Peter and Alison have a baby, Sophie, and although they are the godparents, Holly and Messer are unprepared when tragedy strikes and they find out that they are also her legal guardians. They each have a life and they can't stand each other, but they must find a way to live together for Sophie's sake. Naturally, that involves sacrifice from both of them and for a while, Messer really seems to resent it.
On the whole, the movie balances between how tough parenting can be, and how rewarding a family is.
There are some comedic moments, but there is too much anger and arguing; that makes it harder to enjoy.
Content warnings include sexual situations, making marijuana brownies, some language, and a 'married' gay couple.
