Plot

Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie), a reporter for a Seattle television station interviews a self-proclaimed prophet, Jack (Tony Shalhoub), to find out if he really can predict football scores. Instead, Prophet Jack not only predicts the football score, and that it would hail the next day, but also that she would die in seven days. When his first two prophecies turn out to be correct, Kerrigan panics and is forced to reevaluate her life.

The remainder of the storyline, which runs for the week of the prophecy, revolves around her attempts at introspection. She seeks consolation in her boyfriend, and in her family, but finds little there. Her lifelong ambition, that of appearing on network television begins to look like a distant dream. In her desperation, she commits professional blunders, but ends up finding support in an unlikely source, her arch enemy, the cameraman, Pete (Edward Burns) who introduces her to a new approach to life.

The story is a charmer for most audiences with an ending that is not inconsistent with either the purpose of the film or the theme of extra sensory perception, which runs strongly throughout it.

The Aisle Seat - Life or Something Like It (932 words)
For a movie that extols the virtues of deep living, Life or Something Like It is surprisingly shallow.
That is the choice Life or Something Like It takes and that choice became obvious to me in (literally) the first ten seconds.
Life or Something Like It is rated PG-13 for sexual content, brief violence and language.
Life or Something Like It (1322 words)
Life or Something Like It Life or Something Like It Laura Clifford
And while "Life or Something Like It" is a better film than "Raider," Jolie's ta-tas are, even in a progression of well-tailored suits, once again prominent characters that should receive their own credit.
Beneath the main story of life re-examined, priorities changed and final redemption for Lanie, there is a routine but nice little romance between the ambitious reporter and Pete.
