If you don't take it seriously, this one is not bad at all, light-hearted, perfect for a lazy afternoon. The story is somewhat cheezy, but I enjoyed every part of it, because it's so simple and didn't try to be philosophical.... Full review

This movie was sadly panned by critics and did not get the attention it should have gotten. Even though it was not the greatest movie in the world and did contain flaws, it still did not deserve the bad reviews that... Full review

It sure doesn't sound like it but I'm telling you, the movie is still fun to watch. Only crazy people writing movie reviews would be functioning at that hour. Ah, but I don't want to ruin all the illogical story contrivances for you. ... Full Review

Houston Chronicle
Life or Something Like It, a pleasant romantic comedy, is about what happens when a homeless man (Tony Shalhoub), "a noted street savant," predicts she'll die within a week. Lanie (Angelina Jolie) is a television feature reporter, which means she gets paid big bucks to smile brightly and ask silly questions. ... Full Review

Hollywood Report Card
Burns is also good, but Jolie and director Stephen Herek are squarely responsible for the sincere energy that gives this soul-searcher something magic to find - if even along the beaten path. Though I am not a Stockard Channing fan, her moment in the camera will blow you away. ... Full Review
