"Life or Something Like It" sets a cute premise when a superficial and vain street reporter is told she has less than a week to live by a grungy street prophet with an exceptional track record. What follows is some clumsy but fun stuff about life's priorities including choosing between career and her main squeeze of sorts (Burns), etc. Unfortunately the film just can't seem to get it together and as time wears on it becomes less inspired and more like pounding square pegs through round holes trying the make things work. An okay watch for romantic-comedy junkies, Jolie and Burns fans, etc. (C+)
