**Beverly Hills, CA** – A 2002 Angelina Jolie film, “Life or Something Like It,” is baffling viewers and critics alike by unexpectedly reaching the number one spot on Netflix’s movie charts. The romantic comedy, featuring a supporting cast including Ed Burns and Tony Shalhoub, holds a dismal 28% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on over 25,000 user reviews.
Despite its poor critical reception and age, the film’s sudden popularity has sparked speculation. One theory suggests that the movie’s relative obscurity and Jolie’s enduring star power are attracting viewers who may mistake it for a recent release. Without readily available information on a film’s quality on Netflix, many viewers may be drawn in by the recognizable actress, only to discover a movie that reflects its early 2000s origins.
The phenomenon highlights the unpredictable nature of streaming viewing habits and the enduring appeal of Angelina Jolie, whose presence alone seemingly propelled a critically panned film to the top of the charts. The unexpected success of “Life or Something Like It” leaves many questioning what other forgotten gems might be waiting to be rediscovered – or re-rejected – by Netflix viewers.
