Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

LittleLotti Not far into this movie I said to myself, "this style reminds me of Twilight." Sure enough, when the end credits rolled up I saw it was directed by Catherine Hardwick. I think this could've been a much better film in the hands of someone else. I wasn't a fan of the cinematography at all. Even though Collette and Barrymore give great performances the movie drags. Tysonitter totally took me out of the story. I mean he even has his AAR tattoo practically screaming in your face. I thought it was a poor choice. I appreciate the film's bleak look at cancer and how it affects the person diagnosed as well as everyone around them. It was emotional and as someone who has experienced loss and grief, quite triggering. I felt rather depressed (I mean, it's about cancer) and I kind of wish I'd known beforehand what it was about. This is a movie I would advise others to skip, but to each their own.

jamalking15 A bit too predictable, but the filmography made up for some of the expected lines. Good discussion of cancer for kids. I didn't find it as emotional as many other reviewers. It missed some real discussion about death and spirituality.

Reno Rangan This is not like one of those you have already seen cancer themed film, there's two main characters and their two sets of struggles. They both are very close friends since childhood. When they grow up, one settles down comfortably in life, but fall seriously ill and another one struggles to build a family.I think the film's strength was the development in every scene without wasting a bit. There's always something happens that keeps us alive. I expected the usual, but it gave me a different entertainment. In the movie everything was between two friends, even each had their own family to care about, this story concentrated what came between them and how they fought together.Great direction, shot in wonderful places, but the actors were decent. They should have been better, especially Toni Collette. To me the sentiments were very weak knowing the theme belong to the tearjerkers. Initially you might think it is a female version of '50/50', almost it was, but tried to be a different with additional story expansion. Overall a good movie, little fun to watch, you might enjoy it, but I can't guarantee.7/10

assassinelena Greeting my friends. I've rated this movie with an 8. It wasn't a big production, it wasn't fancy, it wasn't based on a biography (at last!), it was based on real life events something that unfortunately many of us have experienced in our own families. Great acting. Greatly approached. Good sense of humor, at the right place at the right time. Cancer is a taboo word, we are afraid to say it we are afraid to think about it and we surely do not know how to cope with it. In my opinion the film industry doesn't appreciate enough good movies like that particular one in fear of upsetting people. As far as Toni Collette is concerned she was great, one of the best female performances of her career and I believe she should have been considered for a nomination for the Oscar awards.She and Drew Barrymore made a perfect match. Haven't seen something like that since Terms Of Endearment with Debra Winger.
