Basically I was dumbfounded by this movie. All I can say is - don't.

What Parents Need to Know
About Life or Something Like It
Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language. An unmarried couple lives together and there are references to a drunken sexual encounter and an out of wedlock pregnancy. Getting drunk is portrayed as freeing. There is non-graphic violence. Some viewers may be upset by the seer's prediction. And some younger viewers may be disturbed by the reference to divorced parents, even though it is amicable.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how we decide what "perfection" means to each of us and whose approval matters most to us. How do we live in a way that balances planning for the future with recognizing what is important in the present. How do our family dynamics transfer over into our work relationships? Why didn't Lanie understand how important she was to her father?

This is a story of an uptight, almost neurotic news reporter who seems to have everything that society deems as successful-- on the high end of the corporate ladder, a fiance, and financial stability. She runs into a psychic one day who tells her that she will die in a short amount of time and she has some sort of rebirth. The ultimate message of the movie is to live your life to the fullest and take risks. You never know, you might have been living your life the way you THOUGHT you wanted it, not the way that will make you the happiest.
