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 word “messy” is bandied around by its characters but The Life List is far too clean.

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

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.

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

Sofia Carson gives a beautiful performance about the stages of grief and growing into your own person and the film is anchored by the incredible Connie Britton.

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.

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.

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.
