Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Bijhan Valibeigi So the plot is thin, the characters not entirely likable, and some scenes knuckle-bitingly awkward when you know they're trying to be cute. Some of the dialogue is pretty good, and most of the acting if superb.But what I really want to talk about is Seattle. In a world where my hometown is turned into a shallow replacement for New York, or just stereotyped to DEATH (see - Fraiser, Sleepless In Seattle, The Ring etc) it's nice to see a film that actually gives a crap about the city.Holy doo-doo pants! Is that KOMO 4 News?! Okay, so they made one of the Os and Q, but those are the faces I watched every Saturday before the morning 'toons.We see all kinds of places in Seattle that aren't international landmarks - Leschi Elementary School, Alki Beach, the Downtown Transit Station, the Queen Anne Easy Street Records, giving the viewer a realistic representation of the simultaneously snooty and gritty City of the Sound.There are no slip-ups of speech. No one says anything about Lake "CHELL-un" (Chelan is pronounced "sha-LAN", Fraiser!) nor is the Sound ever accidentally referred to as a bay.So basically what I'm saying is that if you want a movie that took its time to understand the character of the city it was taking place in, this is it. And avoid The Ring at ALL COSTS!

siderite It is not a bad movie, but then again it is not a good one. Clichés and unreal situations spoil what would have otherwise been an easy going "what if I changed my life" movie.Angelina Jolie is a news reporter that wants to hit it in life. She then is put in a situation where she realizes that her perfectly built life is meaningless and that she need a good man and happiness instead of good money and unhappiness (suposedly).What made the difference between boringly average and this slightly better average rating is Tony Shaloub.Conclusion: if you are watching the movie to see if she dies, yes, she does. Stop wasting time. If you are watching it to see if she lives, then yes, she also lives. How come? It's the Hollywood way. It is also not terribly romantic, while the feelings you 'should' feel are created via soundtrack than via script.

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")

mini_monroe Ignore all the bad reviews about this film because in my opinion it was really good! A sweet, easy to follow story, very enjoyable if you just want to sit and watch a film where you don't have to burst your brains trying to work out what the hell is going on. This film is simple but effective. Angie is brilliant as usual and puts on a convincing performance, although this character is different to those she has played in the past I think she pulls the 'blonde' reporter off very well. It is interesting to a person, as you see Lainy(Jolie), go through a dramatic change of life. This film may not be your complicated arty farty 'Lord of the Rings' type film, but I give it full marks!
