SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

leplatypus It's about a self-absorbed, egocentric TV host who have a life-changing meeting with the occult.Unfortunately, i'm not writing the review of "Groundhof Day" (already reviewed) but of this crap.I don't know if this degeneracy of a classic tale tells a lot of the evolution of our society but the viewing has been a real hardship for me.It starts with the actual iconic choice for a posh life of the upper class (a penthouse for accommodation, a baseball star for boyfriend) but really who cares? Then, you got some really stupid behaviors: as a gift for the prophet hobo, she brings wine: this is what Hollywood thinks the hobos needs? As her boyfriend notices her despair by having her glasses, his advice is to have laser surgery: great, what about a tour in Africa for him! I don't forget the horrendous clichés: Angie has a boyfriend but only the fear of dying makes her realize they don't talk! The philosophical wisdom she learns from the revelation is to flirt with her colleague who is for sure a divorced husband with a kid, thus Angie can be a mother without birth! The basic of storytelling is forgotten: if it's about dying in 8 days, you put captions to the countdown (Day 1, 2..). Here's it's not done and it's very difficult to follow the timeline.At last, having seen more movies from newcomers (Hilary, Natalie), i know realize that Angie is an overrated actress and has the same career as her father: a handful of great roles but a lot of craps.

Michael O'Keefe Romantic comedy starring Angelina Jolie. A Seattle TV reporter, Lanie Kerrigan(Jolie), should be happy with her life. The platinum blonde charmer has looks to die for and is married to the most popular of the Seattle Mariners baseball team, Cal Cooper(Christian Kane). In preparation for an interview for a morning show job in New York City, she is teamed with a past emotional interest, cameraman Pete(Edward Burns). Lanie does an on the street interview with a homeless man, Prophet Jack(Tony Shaloub), who predicts she is going to die within a week. When his other forecasts turn out true; Lanie must decide if her life has had any meaning at all. Supporting cast includes; Melissa Errico, James Gammon and Stockard Channing.It takes a while to get use to Jolie as a blonde...its really not that damn hard to do. My favorite scene is where she is having batting practice and breaking up with her husband. Something about that batting helmet and flowing platinum blonde locks. And how many times does she have to ask "are you trying to have sex with me"? Hello, cold sweat.

motormouth34 I don't know why people have given this movie bad reviews - I really enjoyed it! I don't think the product placement was at all bad... who cares??? Those are things we all use everyday anyway, right? The movie was absolutely wonderful and all of the actors played a great role. The only thing I didn't like was Angelina's hair - she does NOT do blonde very well. Other than that, she did a wonderful job with her character, Lanie - who feels she has to be perfect in order to be "special", she has the perfect boyfriend (or so she thinks), the perfect body, the perfect apartment, and hopes within 5 years she can achieve success in her perfect broadcasting job. Until she meets "Prophet Jack" played by Tony Shaloub (who also does a wonderful job - as usual) who tells her she will die in 7 days. She starts to realize everything she has been working for is superficial and meaningless. You have to see this movie to see what she does in her last week --- & IF she even dies. Two Thumbs way, way up! ;)

Claudio Carvalho A successful reporter of Seattle is advised by a homeless prophet that she has only seven days of life. While reevaluating her professional and sentimental life, she finds love. I found the premise of this movie very promising: What could you do if you know that you have just seven days of life? Unfortunately the execution was awful! The story is totally corny and shallow: Lanie Kerrigan seems to be very happy and proud with her career, pursuing a dream of working in a network. Life is made of choices, but the way the story is told, it seems that work and love are events exclusives and not possible to happen simultaneously. Further, the lead characters Lanie and Pete do not have any chemistry and they fall for each other too much easy for my taste. The semblance of the blonde Angeline Jolie is horrible. Last but not the least, the situation in Lanie's family, especially with her sister, is not well explained. I really did not like this movie. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Uma Vida em Sete Dias" ("A Life in Seven Days")
