Stony Mountain, Manitoba -- (SBWire) -- 09/30/2010 -- Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel may not portray the most likely parents in their new romantic comedy Life As We Know It, but according to Winnipeg’s Baby Sherpa, the movie is a perfect fit to highlight what they call the ‘extreme sport’ of parenting.

The film is set for release on October 8, and fans of the locally grown diaper backpack company have the chance to win a private screening for themselves and 50 of their closest friends at their local move theater. Other prizes include movie posters, Baby Sherpa Backpacks and Safe2Go Safety Harnesses.

In Life as We Know It, Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) is an up-and-coming restaurateur and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a promising network sports director. After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they’ll have to find some common ground while living under one roof.

“At Baby Sherpa, we’re committed to helping make the lives of parents just a little easier and more enjoyable,” said Sherpa CEO, Heather Campbell-Dewar. “That’s why we’re thrilled to work with Warner Bros. on a movie that speaks to the challenges that every parent can identify with.”
