Would you turn gay for Angelina?
I sure would, and thanks to being told that I'm not the only one, I decided to use this as my subject line. I find her one of the most attractive women out there, although I definitely prefer guys!

I found a lot of the time during this movie that I was distracted, and not focusing my full attention on it, yet I still understood what was going on. So this shows you can switch your brain off during this, and it doesn't really make any difference - just remember to switch it back on again. It just failed miserably in holding my attention I don't know whether other reviewers found this.

Angelina Jolie does NOT look good as a blonde. Especially with a blonde wig. Now I don't know if it was wigs she wore in Gone In 60 Seconds & Girl Interrupted, but at least her hair moved in those, it rarely does in this. It just doesn't move at all! Her colouring is just too dark to pull off being blonde, and she so suits being her natural colour.

The story could have been a whole lot more interesting if it had tapped into the religious and philosophical side of finding out you only had one week left to live. The finale could have used some of this, but instead seems rushed, and is never really properly concluded in such a way that would leave you feeling sad/happy.

Yet another film that has left me sitting on the fence along with Ella Enchanted. And what's with the cover? How insanely dull. And doesn't tell you anything about the movie. Except that Angelina Jolie plays somebody blonde.



Is Your Life Meaningful?
Being a die-hard Angelina Jolie fan, I just had to see Life or Something Like It. I wasn't too enthusiastic about going after viewing the TV trailer, but Jolie is such a terrific actress, I figured, "How bad could it be?" Well, the answer is NOT BAD AT ALL. I expected a quirky comedy with the usual guy-gets-girl storyline. What I got was something I could relate to.
Have you ever wondered if decisions you've made have made your life more or less meaningful? Lanie (Angelina Jolie), a Seattle TV reporter, has 7 days to figure that out. After an interview with a homeless, self-proclaimed prophet, she's not so sure. You see, the prophet has predicted that, not only will she not get the big network job she's been striving for, but that Lanie will die the following week! With the help of cameraman Pete (Edward Burns), Lanie works on making her life meaningful before time runs out. And of course, in true romantic comedy fashion, she falls in love along the way.
Not only did I enjoy watching the movie, but I could tell that the actors enjoyed making the movie. In my favorite scene, Lanie leads a crowd of striking transit workers in a rousing rendition of the Rolling Stones hit "Satisfaction". You could tell Jolie & cast were having alot of fun with that scene.
It's a film that makes you think about the life we take for granted and the choices we make each day without a thought.
Go see this movie and you'll leave it like I did - with a smile on your face!

A Romantic Comendy with More Comendy In it for a Change!
Most romantic comendies are always the same. They start with probally the funniests line and the funniest scenes you could ever see. Then in the second half it becomes to mushy and because a chick flick.That's not the case with this movie Life or Something Like It. Life or Something Like It starts off funny and in the second half is both. It's a regular second half except they stick in alot of comendy. This movie is also very likable because it sticks a drama bit inside it too. hat's three genre's that are kept at a good pace spread out during the movie. That to me is an outstanding achievement. Keeping the genre that the movie was assigned as could be rough but this movie kept three genre's running which is difficult.

The movie stars Angelina Jolie who was never my favorite actress. Her worst movie I thought was Lara Croft Tomb Raider. This she makes up for that even though she shouldn't have made her hair blonde. Her co-star is Edward Burns which was a new actor to me. I want to see his other movie Sidewalks of New York because of the ranting reveiws but never got to that. But Burns is the reason that I gave the movie four stars. I thought that his acting was weak and his display of character didn't show as much as Jolie's acting.Stockard Channing is another co-star is the movie. I was never crazy about her and I also thought her preformace was weak. The best actor of the whole movie had to be Tony Shalob who is always a great actor. Shalob is known for his fame in Monk,Spy Kids,and an episode of Frasier earlier in the 90's.

The movie is about Lanni Kerrigan(Angelina Jolie)who is a TV reporter for a station in Seattle. She's trying to get a promotion to play a co-host on a talk show called AM U.S.A. To prepare her for that her boss makes her work with Pete(Edward Burns)who is a cameraman. Lannie and Pete don't get along well because of her thoughts about herself and his comments. Lannie is engaged to Cal who is her live in boyfriend and also a baseball player. Lannie's father Pat is also in the movie who Lannie thinks favors her married sister Gwen. Pete and Lannie get assigned to do a story on Prophet Jack(Tony Shalob) who is a street steer who is known for his on the money predictions. Jack informs Lannie that in one week she is going to die. Lannie doesn't believe him untill all of his other preiditons come true. Lannie tries to find out if Jack was right about her death. Pete suggests that mabey she should start to act differtly and instead of following rules and orders try to have a little fun in life. From then the quest begins to change Lannie's future with the help of Pete along the way.

Life or Something Like It has all the qualifications that make a good movie and makes it. See this movie as soon as you can and get ready for two hours of drama,and comendy.

ENJOY!
