moviewizguy A reporter, Lanie Kerrigan, interviews a psychic homeless man (Shalhoub) for a fluff piece about a football game's score. Instead, he tells her that her life has no meaning, and is going to end in just a few days.The moral of this story has been told ever single time from "It's a Wonderful Life", to "Last Holiday", even to "Click". Each of these movies have always won me over because I love moral stories and I certainly love this movie!Sure, you've seen this so many times before. Sure, it's filled with clichéd, Sure, it's predictable what's going to happen before it happens. But it's a feel good movie. It puts a smile on your face when it ends. Don't go on the movie too hard.I loved the performance by Angelina Jolie. The supporting characters give us some laughs along the way, although the film isn't too funny but more like a drama. I like the score for the film. I liked the film a lot but not as much as I thought it would be. Still, it was a pretty good film if you like moral movies. "Live everyday like it will be your last."

Claudio Carvalho A successful reporter of Seattle is advised by a homeless prophet that she has only seven days of life. While reevaluating her professional and sentimental life, she finds love. I found the premise of this movie very promising: What could you do if you know that you have just seven days of life? Unfortunately the execution was awful! The story is totally corny and shallow: Lanie Kerrigan seems to be very happy and proud with her career, pursuing a dream of working in a network. Life is made of choices, but the way the story is told, it seems that work and love are events exclusives and not possible to happen simultaneously. Further, the lead characters Lanie and Pete do not have any chemistry and they fall for each other too much easy for my taste. The semblance of the blonde Angeline Jolie is horrible. Last but not the least, the situation in Lanie's family, especially with her sister, is not well explained. I really did not like this movie. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Uma Vida em Sete Dias" ("A Life in Seven Days")

christovaughan 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.

perteegerl I initially rented the movie Life or Something Like it because of Angelina Jolie who has been my favorite actress for years due to her talent and ability. I really enjoyed the film and was surprised to find myself interested in a chick flick as it were. I felt like being a better person by the time I reached the end credits. Re-evaluating my lifestyle and all. After the first introduction of Edward Burns though I have to admit I was captivated and had no trouble believing that there could be a connection between the two characters not only due to their incredible acting abilities, but also the magnetism I felt when I saw him on screen myself. Wow what an incredibly attractive man! Talent and good looks...count me in! I have taken note of his filmography and I am headed to blockbuster! I have found my new favorite actor. Bye bye Ben.
