Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A little bit of hell.
Kate Hudson dies prettily in this tone-deaf dramedy about a woman finding love while suffering from colon cancer.
When a movie opens with a character telling you that love isn't important, that movie is definitely going to smack down that nonbeliever, because movies always believe love is important.
Who knew dying could be such a laugh riot? Certainly not any of us who have actually watched a loved one in the awful final stages of cancer.
