When one of Kim's one-night-stands results in an unexpected pregnancy, things take a sudden turn for the trio. With the help of her girlfriends, Kim must cope with single motherhood as she jumps back into the dating scene amid the fear that toting around a tot can be a dating 'buzz-kill.' Also featuring Jason Biggs, Seymour Cassel, Rhys Coiro, Justin Kirk, Kristen Johnston, Andrea Savage, Geoff Stults and Fallon Goodson, L!fe Happens takes a look at single living, friendship and the joys of life's curveballs. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
It's more like watching an extended sitcom than a movie.
-
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
Cliched premise rescued by some sharp one-liners and an endearing cast.
-
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Set in Los Angeles, this unfunny comedy succeeds only in perpetuating the worst stereotypes about that city.
-
Sara Stewart, New York Post
A likable concept that deflates into conventionality...
-
Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle
Coiro ... mixes an off-beat premise and smart, spiky dialogue with the tired old rhythms of a standard romantic comedy.
