"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

A Life Less Ordinary | 1997 | R | - 2.6.6

Two angels must make two mismatched people fall in love.

SEX/NUDITY 2 - Kissing. Sexual innuendo. Cleavage revealing outfits.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Mainly played for laughs: A woman shoots apples off people's heads, and once shoots a person. A man is beaten up with punches. A couple of people are shot in the leg with a bit of blood. A man bites another's leg. A machine gun is fired at a man and riddles a car with bullets. A woman cuts her arm deeply with a razor and lets the blood run into a cup. A woman is envisioned with a bloody abdominal gunshot wound. A woman is punched and a man is hit on the head with a shovel. A scalpel cuts into a leg and blood spurts out. A bloody nose after a face punch. A fight with a man being punched in the abdomen, a woman thrown to a couch, and a man being head butted. A couple of people are shot in the head; the result is two small, bloody bullet holes and later very bloody heads. A woman flips over a truck, hits the hood and then falls onto the road. A vehicle plunges over a cliff and a woman is smashed onto a boulder. Reckless driving.

LANGUAGE 6 - About nine F-words, some scatological references, a few anatomical references, and some mild obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Angels, kidnaping, losing your job, wealth.

MESSAGE - Love will find a way.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
