An ambitious TV anchorwoman, Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie), decides to change her destiny when a homeless man tells her she'll die within a week. Lanie is perfect: the famous host of a popular TV show, engaged to Seattle Mariners star Cal (Christian Kane), and adorned in a perfect wardrobe enhanced by her trademark Marilyn Monroe-inspired blonde buffont. To top it all off, her boss recommends her for her dream job, a network position in New York City. In order to increase her chances, he sends her to do field work with the renowned, but difficult, cameraman Pete (Edward Burns). On an assignment, Prophet Jack (Tony Shalhoub), tells Lanie three predictions: that the Seattle Seahawks will beat the Denver Broncos 19-13, that it will hail the following day, and that she'll be dead by next Thursday. When the first two predictions come true, Lanie reevaluates her life and realizes she's missing out on the smaller things because of her ambition. Jolie is sexy, adorable, and whimsical in her first comedic role. The sizzling banter between Burns and Jolie recalls Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant in HIS GIRL FRIDAY. LIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT is a lovely departure for director Steven Herek (ROCK STAR, BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE).

Deeply silly romantic comedy, a genre for which its stars have little talent, but no actor or director could have made this particular script sound good.

quirky romantic comedy
Not your typical girlie romantic comedy. There were some quite sad bits with family relationships not being totally rosey, and the knowledge that she was going... read more »
