Life... or something like it

by flamepillar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 28 '02
Pros: Ignorance is bliss. Tons of high heel shots.
Cons: It's also shallow.
Do you ever find yourself so utterly consumed by regret that you just can't bear to acknowledge it? You get to a point where you realize that if you had only started five years ago, who knows where you would be right now. But at the same time you...

The 'Torture Movie' For The New Millenia - Life Or Something Like It

by Vormancian Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 19 '02
Pros: Tony Shalhoub probably got paid. That's really all I can come up with.
Cons: Doesn't even have 'bad movie' attraction.


When it becomes clear that a movie is going to be hopelessly bad, you’ve basically got two options (well, three if you count leaving, or stopping the movie), at least, I have my two options (you may have your own). One, I can give it all...

A Romantic Comedy for Adults

by pvreditor Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 01 '03
Pros: Good acting; excellent direction and editing
Cons: Those huge lips!
My wife and I wanted a romantic comedy to while away the hours on New Year’s Eve and I was dispatched to the video store to see what was available. There were lots of thrillers out there, but darned few romantic comedies that would appeal to anyone...

Trite or something like it

by thed_man , Apr 29 '02
Pros: Angelina Jolie and those pouty lips...
Cons: The story has been done to death
How did I get suckered into seeing this movie when movies like "Changing Lanes" and "Murder By Numbers" were playing?...truth is I wasn't suckered at all as my fiance threatened to see the movie alone and was laying a guilt trip on me. Albeit it not...

A Decent Date Flick, But Don't Go in Expecting Citizen Kane!

by silentron , Apr 26 '02
Pros: Star quality performance from Angelina Jolie.
Cons: Super schmaltzy dialogue. Oozes sentimentality.
INTRO

I was able to see this film at the cast/crew screening on the Fox lot earlier this week. I wasn't anticipating a whole lot from this film, which is why it was a mildly pleasant diversion. A nice performance from Angelina Jolie drives...

'Life' is nothing like it

by mrbrown Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 28 '02
Pros: Angelina is likable.
Cons: Her film, alas, isn't.
Lanie Kerrigan has it all: looks, a pro baseball player fiancé, a cushy TV news job in Seattle, and the prospect of an even cushier broadcast job on a national scale. She may be vain, but that doesn't necessarily make Lanie a bad person, but per...

No Fizz. No Magic. No Life

by pach1908 , Apr 28 '02
Pros: Angeline Jolie trying on Katherine Hepburn for size. Doesn't quite fit, but she's still growing.
Cons: the look of the film is as drizzly and sodden as its Seattle backdrop.
Most sudden illness movies cannot be trusted. Fact is, none of them in my experience contain even a modicum of quality. Love of film means never having to put up with bullshot. Not technically a sudden illness movie, Life Or Something Like It is more...

Even Angelina Jolie's somewhat nuanced performance can't save this insincere wreck of a film.

by slave4uboi , Aug 20 '02
Pros: Angelina Jolie's performance
Cons: Sloppy direction, trite developments, unreal
Watch Angelina Jolie be snotty then turn nice. Watch Angelina Jolie’s bleached Dolly Parton do bob as she walks. Watch Life or Something Like It suck. Watch it suck bad. Hollywood seems to have an obsession with “second-chance-at-life”...

Death to the star

by WBDBaj , Oct 19 '02
Pros: Not too stereotyipically overdone self-obsessed star
Cons: Lacked punch....
Angelina Jolie has great big lips, platinum blond hair (brown eyebrows), and a great body. She is the ultimate TV news reporter in Seattle, ready to hit the fast track. Her boss has told her she has been submitted to host a national morning talk show....

A Movie That Is Sure To Tear Apart The Box Offices

by TheNihcman , Apr 12 '02
Pros: Great plot; Jolie and Burns well cast; Great length - NOT 3 hours long
Cons: Somewhat "unrealistic"
Watching 'Life or Something Like It' at a test screening in New York, more than two weeks before its official release, I had never heard of the movie until I received the movie passes. I noticed that commercials were aired the day after I saw the...

Pros: A feel good movie.
Cons: Cheesy.
Lanie is a successful career woman who seems to have the perfect life, but when she discovers she will die in a week, she realizes that her life is far from perfect.

Harmless but not so bad

by webdirect_bjsn , Apr 27 '02
Pros: Good performance from Jolie and Burns.
Cons: Not enough realistic.
This is not review of every single detail of the story.Story centers on "Lanie Kerrigan"(Angelina Jolie),an local news reporter who is trying to making it to the national network level.She has making a five years plan to reach her goals.

Angelina Jolie was great!

by kitten_xox , Aug 10 '02
Pros: It was realistic enough.
Cons: Like most movies, it had a fairy-tale type topic.
I have always liked Angelina Jolie, but Tomb raider got me hooked. In this movie, rather than playing an action chic, she played a lady living with the realities of life. This movie was cute, with a bit of romance and comedy, which makes it good for...

Not a Bad Chick Flick!

by f_ashton , Mar 17 '03
Pros: Angeline Jolie looked hot! The movie was rather entertaining!
Cons: Appeals more to the female audience!
Although "Life Or Something Like It" isn't the type of movie I typically pay to see, I didn't mind watching it on video. Angelina Jolie's character was quite different from her "Tomb Raider" character, which shows that she's a bit of a versatile actor....

A Movie Or Something Like It

by JessyBird03 , Apr 23 '02
Pros: Great cast works well together, fresh story line, great ending!
Cons: More of a "Chick Flick"
Don't be fooled by my title! I had not heard about Life Or Something Like It until my sister gave me passes for a screener in New Orleans. Going into this movie I knew nothing about it except who was in it. I had not seen trailers or anything. If I...
