Critics Consensus

A Little Bit of Heaven subjects viewers to a whole bunch of schmaltz - and strands Kate Hudson and Gael García Bernal in a fatally misguided film.

Sap without the weight of reality, awkwardly combined with a romance without much chemistry.

Hudson's rom-com baggage follows her like a minefield in this cancer comedy, busting up any delicacy that tries to crystallize around her.

We Got This Covered

While director Nicole Kassall tried to create an independent female lead who doesn't give into stereotypes with Marley, the overall movie ultimately lacked originality, a memorable story and characters with any true purpose.

Rated: 5/10

Kate Hudson never fails. Her strong points are comedy and drama. This film I just happened to be looking for movies with Kate Hudson in them and this came up first and I hadn't seen it so I watched it and she did a fantastic job in this movie as she is done in anything she's worked on. The story watched a young woman with cancer up until the end and it shows that when you have a debilitating disease you can still have love and friendship. I feel this is a must-see movie.

Una comedia romántica lo suficientemente alegre y divertida tendiendo en cuenta la historia que trata. No es la mejor película del mundo y su trama es bastante lineal pero así y todo funciona.

A romance springs from a personal tragedy. The lead character is very unlikable and the romantic interest is weak. The story as a whole is flatlined from beginning to end.

The critics are absolutely wrong. I really liked this movie. Unlike what the critics said, the cast had chemistry. If you liked Steel Magnolias and Terms of Endearment, movies that combined romance, friendships, and tears, this movie is for you.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Wonderful film that brings much needed humor and depth to such a serious real-life circumstance. Loved Kate Hudson, Gael García Bernal, Whoopi & Kathy Bates in their roles. 5 stars! I thought it was a little gem of a movie.
