08/26/2011 :Pretty Good, didn't see this one coming, I was pleasantly surprsed by the Breast Cancer,Extended Family Movie about Love,loss,cynicism, and survival See more 07/21/2009 I watched this because Scott Bakula was in it, only I got jipped, because he has a mustache. Decent. I missed the first large portion, but all-in-all... it's one of those painfully realistic, tragic yet "hopeful" type films that has it's moments, and makes you think sometimes, but doesn't have a whole lot of epicness. It also ends with no closure to bug us all. See more 07/19/2008 It was okay.It was definitely sad because Elizabeth Perkins character does pass away at the end. But the ending was very good. Part of me was like "Shouldn't she know you can't mail letters to heaven." but it wasn't meant to be taken literally of course. I noticed Lauren Collins in the the movie. So I'm guessing it was filmed in Canada. There were a couple Canadian actors in it. But anyway Elizabeth Perkins gave a great performance especially right before her death. She did very well. This is also a true story by the way. But overall the movie wasn't anything special. See more 04/20/2008 I saw this movie years ago, but i watched it again now and I really like it. See more 03/17/2008 horrible, cheesy, over acted, and not worth the time. It's your stereotypical made for TV, Lifetime movie. See more Read all reviews
