Sofia Carson’s New Movie Will Change the Way You See Life
Sofia Carson Brings 'The Life List' to Life in a Heartfelt New Romantic Comedy
What’s on Your Bucket List? ‘The Life List’ Will Inspire You to Chase Your Dreams
If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling the world, learning a new language, or simply adopting a puppy, Netflix’s new romantic comedy The Life List might just be the inspiration you need. Starring Sofia Carson (Purple Hearts, Carry-On), the film follows a young woman on a journey of self-discovery as she completes a childhood bucket list. The Life List premieres on March 28, and it promises a perfect blend of romance, family drama, and heartfelt life lessons.
What Is ‘The Life List’ About?
Alex Rose (Sofia Carson) is at a crossroads in life—stuck in a rut and unsure of her next move. But when her mother, Elizabeth (Connie Britton), encourages her to revisit an old “life list” she wrote as a teenager, Alex embarks on a transformative journey.
From conquering an open mic night at a comedy club to volunteering at a women’s shelter, attending glamorous charity events, and even playing one-on-one basketball, Alex checks off each item on her list. Along the way, she uncovers long-buried family secrets, rekindles her passion for life, and even finds romance with the charming and supportive Brad (Kyle Allen).
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City, The Life List is a touching reminder that life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
A Fresh Take on Romance and Self-Discovery
Based on the bestselling novel The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman, this film offers a refreshing perspective on love, loss, and personal growth.
Sofia Carson, who brings Alex Rose to life, describes the character as someone we can all relate to: “Alex Rose is me, is you, is all of us. She reconnects us to the dreamer we left behind and inspires us to move forward.”
For Kyle Allen, who plays Brad, the story struck a deep emotional chord. “When I read the script, I cried. That’s always a good sign,” he shared. The Life List explores life, love, and self-discovery in a way that leaves the audience feeling inspired and hopeful.

The film boasts an impressive ensemble of talented actors, including:
- Sofia Carson (Purple Hearts, Carry-On) as Alex Rose
- Kyle Allen (A Haunting in Venice, West Side Story) as Brad

Why ‘The Life List’ Stands Out
Written and directed by Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe; Imposters), the film is a passion project that has been a decade in the making. Brooks wanted to create a film that resonates with audiences on a deep level. “It’s a story of reinvention that I hope inspires people to take stock of their own lives and embrace change,” he said.
Producer Liza Chasin (The Lost City, Stillwater) was equally passionate about bringing The Life List to the screen. “When I read the script, I knew immediately that I had to make this movie. It’s emotional, relatable, and full of heart.”
A Film That Will Leave You Inspired
The Life List is more than just a rom-com—it’s a celebration of life, growth, and second chances. It’s a reminder to revisit the dreams we once had and take bold steps toward making them a reality.
So, what’s on your bucket list? Whatever it is, The Life List might just inspire you to start checking things off. Catch it on Netflix starting March 28!
