Life Or Something Like It movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Renee Graham, Boston Globe: You may be galled that you've wasted nearly two hours of your own precious life with this silly little puddle of a movie. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Shepherd's script ... after going gooey, goes goofy. Read more
Charles Savage, Miami Herald: The quirky potential of Herek's background and Jolie's charismatic persona ought to have been shaped into something more interesting than such pseudo-profound fluff. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [A] fun romp... Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: A misshapen, generally misguided, unnervingly simplistic romantic comedy with a spiritual element that means to give viewers pause, but seems far more likely to give them giggling fits. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Life, though funny and sometimes charming, doesn't give Lanie a believable context in which to stop and smell the roses. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The relentless upbeatness of Life or Something Like It wrecks the possibility of either real laughter or genuine pathos. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: What we have is a character faced with the possibility that her life is meaningless, vapid and devoid of substance, in a movie that is definitely meaningless, vapid and devoid of substance. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The whole exercise feels predictable and programmed. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Jolie gives it that extra little something that makes it worth checking out at theaters, especially if you're in the mood for something more comfortable than challenging. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: An adroit crowd-pleaser, and Jolie and Burns exude charisma and the right chemistry. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: A pleasant romantic comedy. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Its disparate elements never add up to approximating real life. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Mostly about slapping together a bunch of cliches -- outdated cliches at that -- regarding the loneliness of ambitious women. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: The script lurches from banal formula ... to vacuous, cringe-worthy contrivance. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Trying to glean life lessons from this movie is about as futile as hunting for an emotionally honest bone in its bloated body. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: Comes on like a romantic comedy with metaphysical pretensions, but somehow these opposing aspects manage to cancel each other out, leaving us with laugh-lite comedy and, well, metaphysical pretensions. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Formulaic, delusional and about as accurate a depiction of life in television news (or something like it) as a Pillsbury bake-off. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Life or Something Like It has its share of high points, but it misses too many opportunities. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: This is an ungainly movie, ill-fitting, with its elbows sticking out where the knees should be. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: The big question in Life or Something Like It isn't 'Will Lanie live?' or even 'Can Lanie change?' but 'Am I ever going to give a fig?' Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A worthy woman's film and Jolie's best showcase to date. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Explain to me why the big studios keep making romantic comedies which are so lacking in romance and comedy. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: Cloaks a familiar anti-feminist equation (career - kids = misery) in tiresome romantic-comedy duds. Read more
