An egotistical TV reporter learns to appreciate the good things in life thanks to an eccentric, homeless clairvoyant in this old-fashioned
romantic comedy from director
Stephen Herek (
Mr. Holland's Opus). Seattle native
Lanie Kerrigan (
Angelina Jolie) has spent most of her adult existence trying to live down her gawky, geeky adolescence: She toils for hours at the gym to keep cellulite at bay; she's managed to snag an engagement to a star baseball player (
Christian Kane); and through her chipper puff pieces on the nightly news, she's cultivated a loyal following of couch potatoes who pester her for autographs. She's ready to take the next step to national news when her boss suggests she further hone her skills with ace cameraman
Pete Scanlon (
Edward Burns), who also happens to be an old flame of
Lanie's. Her comfortable but shallow existence begins to change the moment she and
Pete do a story on
Prophet Jack (
Tony Shaloub), a sage soothsayer who spouts unusually accurate predictions to passers-by in exchange for spare change.
Jack offers up the theory that
Lanie will not get her cushy promotion; in fact, he says she'll die within a week. When
Jack's other prophecies start coming true,
Lanie starts living each day as if it were her last -- much to the dismay of her co-workers and her fiancé.
