What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Life List checks all the romantic comedy boxes with efficiency, but it could've benefitted from squiggling outside the lines here and there.

"The Life List" is painstakingly safe. It has no conflict, let alone an edge. Go to Full Review

Much like a “Live, Laugh, Love” cross-stitch has its place in a certain type of home, The Life List has its place as a cathartic tearjerker for those who care more about life-affirming stories than quality filmmaking. Go to Full Review

The bulk of The Life List is filled with repetitive platitudes, especially when we can see the telegraphed emotional beats coming a mile away. Go to Full Review

Edna C Nov 15 The Life List premise intrigued me and I wanted to like it but I could smell the plot, overarching story and character a mile away. It dragged on and on. See more Will B Nov 2 Easy watch, tells the story what it says in the tin really. A life list of things a young women was given by her late mother by year end in order to get a house as her inheritance. See more Peta S Oct 31 The acting was appalling See more Jac A. @Jackie325 Oct 14 Fun, light, heartfelt. Enjoyed the cast See more Scott W Sep 23 Cute . Ha. Good cast . See more Alex R Sep 18 Don’t even watch. Horrid movie. Portrays glorified cheating with zero character development. 2 hours you will never get back. Go spend time with your family instead.
