Mike Hughes Gannett News Service Loliianco has taken a cliche (the tough guy who cares) and brought it to life. Jillian has taken a one of a kind role and filled it with human passion. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff M I don't know how many of you remember or have even heard of Ann Jillian. She was never a major star but she was a recognizable face in the 80s, receiving three Emmy nominations during that decade, including one for her performance here. Like 95% of TV movies from this era, this biography feels quite cheesy when viewed with a 2019 eye. But anyone who has gone through or knows someone who has gone through cancer will find something to relate to hear. And Jillian is an undeniably charismatic presence with a wonderful singing voice and a lot of old-fashioned spunk. If you're one who enjoys Hallmark movies and Lifetime Television movie events, you'll most likely dig this one, too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
