If you can get past all the over-bearing 'Live your life for the moment' message, the movie can make your two hours pass by with a fair amount of enjoyment.

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.
05/09/02
Contains the humor, characterization, poignancy, and intelligence of a bad sitcom.

Although Life or Something Like It is very much in the mold of feel-good movies, the cast and director Stephen Herek's polished direction pour delightfully piquant wine from aged bottles.

One thing's for sure: if you had only a week to live, you wouldn't want to waste 100 minutes on this.

Formulaic, delusional and about as accurate a depiction of life in television news (or something like it) as a Pillsbury bake-off.

After taking in this brainless, by-the-book romantic comedy, you'll need a breath mint just to get the taste out of your mouth.

Many of the characters seemed more like sketches of characters rather than real people.
