With two super actors like Reba McEntire and Keith Carradine, there isn't much that can go wrong.

I saw this film in 94 on CBS and fell in love with it. It's a kind hearted story about a woman who gets a second chance at life and ways of living it. Lili Marshall ( McEntire ) has a brush with death ( cancer ) and decides to live her life to the fullest once she is out of the clear. She's been a housewife for years, doing all she could for her husband Brad ( Carradine ) and her two children. It doesn't help that her younger sister ( Belle ) is a pain in the butt. Lili also works long hours in a diner and she hardly finds time for herself. She decides to go back to school. School opens a sea of horizans for Lili. She takes to her classes well while being befriended by the handsome young teaching assistant Joshua ( Mitchell Anderson ) who is more than eager to help Lili with her schoolwork. Lili's new life puts a strain on Brad and once her father dies she's at her wits' end. She ends up having to choose between her old life and school. She makes the brave choice of continuing school. She is determined to see it through no matter how Brad feels. Her life couldn't get any better until she's thrown into a frightening reality during a study date with Joshua. He has more than " friendly " feelings for Lili. When she rejects him he doesn't take no for an answer but luckily Lili gets away. Now being almost raped, she struggles ( again ) with the choice of returning to class and to Joshua's haunting behavior. She does and proves to everyone she can win in the end.

This is a delightful film. Reba takes you on a fantastic and sad journey. It is hard to be a woman with priorites, but Lili Marshall proves that life's hardships often lead to its rewards.

AS A MOTHER OF 3 AND A COLLEGE STUDENT LATER IN LIFE,THIS MOVIE WAS EVERYTHING I COULD NEVER PUT INTO WORDS WHEN PEOPLE ASKED HOW I DID IT.THERE IS NO ACTRESS THAT COULD HAVE DONE A FINER JOB THAN REBA IN THIS ROLE.

the subject of this movie is alot like the show REBA.....Reba McEntire seems a strong hearted woman who though she hasn't had it easy (not always at least), she takes what life throws at her and makes the best of it. She's a survivor.

I watched this movie in 1994 and always wanted to see it again... I loved it. It is so inspiring and life-like. Reba and Keith bring Brad' and Lili to life. It truly touches your heart... It proves that it is NEVER to late to chase your dreams... A must see for anyone.

First off I just want to say, that Reba did a killer job in this movie. Is There Life Out There, is a truly remarkable movie. It makes you wander what life would be like in the world, if you had not married and had kids. I loved this movie, it's the type of movie to laugh, cry, and just want to watch over and over again. their is no reason to dislike this movie. It's a life that alot of people deal with or even go through. The only thing i do dislike, is that they don't sell it in stores, you have to order it over the internet, which usually requires a credit card, that alot of people just don't have. So why not sell it in more stores.
Because alot of people like tearjerkers and this movie is one of them. It needs to be sold more or at least let people get them with money order. But it's a credit card. please help me to let people sell them more. It's a movie you don't want to miss.

True acting talent is shown in this inspiring drama. I wish it was available to buy.

I think this is a movie that is great for all people of any age. Reba is a fantastic person as well as she is an actress. I hope she continues to act throughout the rest of her career. Great work REBA!

This is a must have for anybody

I loved the video!!! It was a tear jerker, a laugh, it was great! I've been trying to but is but nobody has it!!

A must see for women who are challenged by family and education or anyone who needs a little inspiration to keep moving forward in life.
