Released in 2002, "Life or Something Like It" is a romantic dramedy that blends charm, introspection, and a dash of fate.

A Story About More Than Headlines

Angelina Jolie plays Lanie Kerrigan, a Seattle news reporter chasing professional success and personal perfection. Her world is turned upside down after an encounter with a homeless street prophet (played by Tony Shalhoub), who predicts she has only a few days left to live.

Faced with the possibility of her life ending abruptly, Lanie begins to question everything—her career, her relationship, her choices—and starts to truly live for the first time. What unfolds is a heartfelt, sometimes humorous, journey of self-discovery and love.

While the film received mixed reviews upon release, its themes have aged well. It poses timeless questions: Are we living authentically? Are we chasing the right dreams? Do we know what we truly want?
