Life as We Know It" was a flop as we know it at the box office this weekend, as former "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl failed to deliver.
The rom-com bomb about two opposite-sex frenemies who are forced to adopt an orphaned toddler earned a ho-hum $14.6 million in its opening weekend.
In fact, the Heigl-as-movie-star issue seems to be creeping up on her. Following her big hit with "Knocked Up" (which was overrated in our opinion), her last few romantic comedies have been duds. Same goes for Jennifer Aniston ("The Switch) and Jennifer Lopez ("The Back-Up Plan").
We can't decide if the romantic comedy genre is dead or whether we're just sick of the same-old actresses acting out the same-old plots.
