What the Critics say | ||
24.com Lindsey Bahr In fact, nothing much in Life Itself feels like life itself. It is too polished, too winking, too big and too much to be all that relatable, even with a cast as appealing as this | 5 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy There are some positives to be had, but the negatives ultimately outweigh them. | 9 | |
