      Audience Member SURPRISINGLY GOOD COMEDY, CONSIDERING THE SUBJECT MATTER (CANCER). VERY DRY HUMOR AND THE CAST IS REMARKABLY GOOD. THE TWO LEADS ARE TERRIFIC. WAGNER IS ALREADY A MORE NATURAL ACTRESS THAN HER MOTHER, NATALIE WOOD. VERY FUNNY, TOUCHING. A FINELY MADE FEEL GOOD MOVIE. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
