Amazon.co.uk Review

Angelina Jolie proves her box-office versatility in Life or Something Like It, a romantic comedy (Jolie's first) that succeeds on the strength of Jolie's appealing performance. As Seattle TV news reporter Lanie Kerrigan, Jolie craves celebrity (i.e., she's insecure and seeks approval), but her disapproving cameraman (Edward Burns) detects an admirable woman beneath Lanie's bleached-blonde coif and pancake makeup. When a homeless street prophet (Tony Shalhoub) predicts that Lanie will soon be dead, she gradually juggles her priorities, connecting with Burns, appearing drunk on camera (a mistake that ultimately works in her favour), and finding new confidence in her professional and romantic potential. It's generic fluff, but director Stephen Herek (Rock Star, Mr Holland's Opus) approaches the material with his reliably good-natured sincerity and Jolie's bubbly charm mixes well with Burns's casual sensibility. And while Herek can't compare to George Cukor or Billy Wilder, he knows just how to handle the inevitable loopholes in the prophet's not-so-gloomy premonition. --Jeff Shannon

DVD Description

An ambitious TV anchorwoman thinks her life is perfect: perfect job, perfect apartment, perfect boyfriend, but all this changes when a homeless ‘prophet’ tells her she will die in a week. The news sparks her to take action as she sets off on a wild and hilarious adventure to change the pattern of her life … only to find that destiny is what you make it.

4.0 out of 5 stars It makes you think what really matters in life, 5 Aug 2003

By	Ms Cristina D'Angelo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life Or Something Like It [VHS] [2003] (VHS Tape)

After the movie has finished it still plays on in your head, and you start to ponder upon the big question that the film is all about, what if I had 7 days to live what would I do with my life?
Angelina Jolie once again proves that she can adapt to any role that she takes on, the character she plays could not be further from the Jolie we know and love. This is a must see film for movie goers who believe there is a higher being than just us, in places the film can be a bit depressing, but the warm ending makes up for any sadness you may encounter.
A must see thumbs up Angelina

4.0 out of 5 stars Comedy or something like it, 21 Jan 2006

By	H. Anderson "worldwithoutshrimp" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is a must see for all fans of Angelina Jolie as this role is unusual for her and she plays it suprisingly well.
Jolie and Ed burns are an unlikely pairing but I believed the romance between them and the plot although a bit corny was sweet and easy to follow.
The perfect movie for feeling good and seeing Angelina Jolie sing....watch and see!

4.0 out of 5 stars a jolie good film, 12 Aug 2003

By	"mrozski221279" - See all my reviews

I think this film didn`t deserve the criticism it got as most of the reviews i read were very negative,but being a jolie fan i simply had to watch it.I wasn`t dissapointed as angelina goes to show what a versatile actor she is.The film is a comedy with a kind of romantic element to it and tells the story of Lanie kerrigan (Jolie) as a news reporter who has the perfect job,apartment,boyfriend etc until she interviews a homeless psychic who tells her that she will die in seven days.This makes her re-evaluate her life and try to live it to the fullest.The other main character is ed burns who plays lanie`s camera man Pete and the on screen chemistry between the two actors works well as i thought they were very funny together.I`d not seen much of ed burns before this but think i might take more notice of his forthcoming films as he impressed me in this film.One of the best scenes in the film is when lanie appears on camerea drunk and gets the whole crowd singing satisfaction by the rolling stones, very funny.Overall i think that this was a good film and for people who want a a decent story and a bit of a laugh at the same time,and a must buy for angelina fans as she is in practically every scene.
