Angelina Jolie is at her most tolerable."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Making a "feather-light" comedy isn't an excuse for making a bad movie."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D "Seems entirely prefabricated...absurdly contrived and overwrought in a whole variety of bad ways."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Life or Something Like It has its share of high points, but it misses too many opportunities."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Angelina Jolie's romance/comedy/drama isn't terribly romantic, comedic or dramatic."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "If you've never seen such a 'second chance at life' film, this one may work for you to some degree, especially if you're a connoisseur of/sucker for forced, contrived and predictable material and moments posing as heartfelt and moving ones."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "Without Angelina Jolie, this movie wouldn't even be worth renting as a dog-day Tuesday evening video flick.."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/10 "Ms. Jolie tries her best to be sweet, brisk, and breezy, but the film's leaden pace and hackneyed plot won't allow her to be much more than a cardboard spectator..."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 1/4 "... there isn't enough comedy or drama here to satisfy anyone's tastes in particular, and even Renée Zellweger dressed as a tart couldn't have made it any more watchable."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson B- "...there is enough originality in 'Life' to distance it from the pack of paint-by-number romantic comedies that so often end up on cinema screens."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll B- "Angelina is appealing doing the girly girl thing. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1/4 "Contains the humor, characterization, poignancy, and intelligence of a bad sitcom."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 1.5/4 "The only type of lives this glossy comedy-drama resembles are ones in formulaic mainstream movies."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2/4 "One thing's for sure: if you had only a week to live, you wouldn't want to waste 100 minutes on this."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Jolie, in a role clearly designed for someone like Meg Ryan, shows us Lanie's vulnerability, inescurity, and her capacity for giddy joy. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Many of the characters seemed more like sketches of characters rather than real people."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Angelina Jolie gives a mixed-bagged performance. Sometimes she is annoying, affected and just plain selfish...other times she endearing and funny"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2/5 "Whoever said ‘blondes have more fun’ may have been right, but that doesn’t mean we have to PAY to watch it happen in such trivial fashion."   DVD Clinic   Scott Weinberg 3.5/5 "Life may be pre-packaged goodness, but it's served warm by a director comfortably basking in the glow of his preferred genre."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell D "Lanie's professional success means she must be a failure at life, because she's driven by ambition and Doesn't Know How to Have Fun."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 1.5/4 "An unwise amalgam of Broadcast News and Vibes."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 5/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
