Life or Something Like It

Continuity mistake: When Lanie is talking to her sister at her sister's house, they are seated across from each other on sofas. Her sister has a plate of cookies in front of her on the coffee table. As Lanie and her sister are talking and her sister gets up towards the end of the scene, the plate of cookies have moved across the table in front of Lanie.

Audio problem: When Lanie is drunk and interviewing the teamster, you can see her mouthing his lines.

Continuity mistake: When Lanie and her sister Gwen are talking at Gwen's home there is a plate of cookies sitting on the table between them. As the conversation shifts back and forth between them, the positions of the cookies on the plate shift.

More quotes from Life or Something Like It

Question: Excluding plot device, when Lanie goes to see Prophet Jack a second time, why didn't she simply ask him how she was going to die?

Answer: Probably one of many reasons. It could be fear, denial, inevitability, accepting one's fate, and so on. Not many people want to know exactly when and how they will die.
