Life or Something Like It Ratings & Reviews

David C.July 20, 2025
I'm not sure why critics didn't give this a double thumbs up, personally I enjoyed the movie a lot, I thought the plot was quite interesting and captivating, the characters had a lot of charisma as well as the actors. The actors were incredible and all the twists and turns that this movie presented kept me engaged in the film & mind you, this is my second time watching the film. If I didn't think it was worthwhile I surely wouldn't view it more than once! Regardless of whether the stiff shirt critics weren't overly pleased with this film, I'm just an average Joe & I think the other film goers will appreciate this film, as I didn't need to analyze it back and forth to determine that it was well worth watching! I enjoyed it & I hope the rest of you film goers enjoy this film like I did! Angelina Jolie, Edward Burns & Tony Shalhoub were spot on & made this film the hit that I believe it is! 👍
