TV reporter Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) interviews a psychic homeless man (Tony Shalhoub) for a fluff piece about predicting the score of a football game.

Lanie is sparked to action, trying to change the pattern of her life for the better...

Critics Consensus: Though Jolie is appealing, Life or Something Like It is too contrived and predictable to convincingly convey its message of stopping to smell the roses.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language. An unmarried couple lives together and there are references to a drunken sexual encounter and an out of wedlock pregnancy. Getting drunk is portrayed as freeing. There is non-graphic violence. Some viewers may be upset by the seer's prediction. And some younger viewers may be disturbed by the reference to divorced parents, even though it is amicable.
