Life or Something Like It

A bit disappointing. I was hoping to get a drama about serious life questions, mortality, meaning and fulfillment, but with a dash of romance thrown in to round off the characters. Instead, I got a romance that uses serious questions to propel a questionable relationship. I'm baffled that a woman's decision to choose a dream to follow instead of giving it all up for a guy she spends two nights and a day with is somehow bad, selfish, and automatically worthy of regret. Also, I don't get, [spoiler] why Lanie gets to live, because she gets shot regardless of choosing to walk out on her big opportunity. What exactly broke Jack's prophecy? It would make more sense for her to decide to come back to Pete and then find out that the elevator she was supposed to take actually plunged to the ground[/spoiler]. Instead, it's left to a cheesy line about [spoiler] part of her that didn't know how to live [/spoiler]. The writing is very late 90's.

Nice music, some obvious truths about life interspersed with Angelina's flirtatious smiles... rather nothing revealing.
