Watch Life or Something Like It For Free

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Well, first of all, I don't know why in the world people would give bad reviews to this movie. Someone doesn't like Angelina Jolie? Well, she actually did a pretty good job in this movie, although I won't even comment on the blonde hair. Let's just say that brown is her look, that's all. As for the movie, the story is great. The story is amazing, a skeptical journalist, anchor woman gets a warning of some sort, a prophecy from a random homeless guy and then tries to prove him wrong for the whole week that's left for her to live. Those who plan to or already have made their careers the only thing they know will relate to this movie like no one else. I actually admire Lanie for both of the lives she lead: the career woman and then a family gal with a career that, let's face it, much smaller than the one she would've gotten in New York, but still amazing. It pretty much took her a death to live through to throw out the highest peak of a journalist possible that she was offered in NY. And then again, it's impossible to live such a life without any regrets for all the things lost because of that career, and so she chose happiness over a dream. Kinda shows an example of when you really, really want something and then when you get it - it's not as sweet anymore. You realize that wasn't the thing that would make you happy at all. Ahh, that's why I absolutely love this movie and will continue on making my career my life, until something better comes along, and then to fully appreciate it I'll throw everything I ever dreamed of becoming away...and live every day, as if it were my last one. Gosh, if we only got to know the future. If only our plans turned out to become true without any heavy sacrifices.

Romantic comedy starring Angelina Jolie. A Seattle TV reporter, Lanie Kerrigan(Jolie), should be happy with her life. The platinum blonde charmer has looks to die for and is married to the most popular of the Seattle Mariners baseball team, Cal Cooper(Christian Kane). In preparation for an interview for a morning show job in New York City, she is teamed with a past emotional interest, cameraman Pete(Edward Burns). Lanie does an on the street interview with a homeless man, Prophet Jack(Tony Shaloub), who predicts she is going to die within a week. When his other forecasts turn out true; Lanie must decide if her life has had any meaning at all. Supporting cast includes; Melissa Errico, James Gammon and Stockard Channing.It takes a while to get use to Jolie as a blonde...its really not that damn hard to do. My favorite scene is where she is having batting practice and breaking up with her husband. Something about that batting helmet and flowing platinum blonde locks. And how many times does she have to ask "are you trying to have sex with me"? Hello, cold sweat.

This is a bad movie. The only reason to be partly interested in it is Angelina Jolie and obviously not for her acting skills. Speaking of acting skills, well better look somewhere else, because in this one Angelina is really sub par and she is annoyingly trying to play the sexy blonde card (well we do know you are sexy, don't overplay it though because you spoil it!). All the other characters are easily forgettable, although I have a not-so-honourable mention for the chemistry between the lead couple. There wasn't any, period.While the plot had a certain potential (if of course it was realised by an accomplished crew, which wasn't the case), the actual lines were cheesy and failed to create any emotion, even at a time where poor Angelina was shedding a bucket of tears.So again, watch it only to satisfy your curiosity of how Angelina looks with blonde hair. But then I guess just a still on this site will do.

This is a fun film, and is headed toward a logical surprise ending that I have to think someone somewhere forced a new ending on it. This is not really a spoiler, because it didn't end this way, but here's the way it should have ended:They make such a big deal through the whole film about Lanie's fake blond hair, and when she is told she is going to die and discovers more about her real self, she starts primping and washing it less. Near the end she has discovered how to be happy with her real self, except that she still has the threat of death hanging over her head. The logical conclusion of the film is that she dyes her hair to bring it back to her natural color. She fulfils the prophecy ("In three days you will die/dye") and becomes a fuller, more real person. Instead they have a cop-out ending.
