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.

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Rated: 0.5/4

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.

Rated: C

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.

There are moments in this film that can feel overly manipulative, but if you let yourself get swept up in the characters, you might find this a meaningful and rewarding journey.

It was a cute little romcom and the way they delivered self love also came about in her journey of finding herself, family and love brings it all together. Would definitely watch this movie again.

This movie has its similarities with another film called The Bucket List, where it was about fulfilling a list of things that the main character still has to do. Sofia Carson had a good chemistry with the new actors because the romantic comedy felt natural as she transitioned from one person to another. Although changing relationships is common, it felt too abrupt and there was not enough time to recuperate. The bondage between a deceased mother and the daughter was strong and powerful, with plenty of connections with friends with Carson's character. Connie Britton's presence did elevate the performance, making Sofia Carson much more improved in this relatively mature role.
