John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Hokum for the whole family. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review Derek Smith Apollo Guide Heavy-handed musical score, trite dialogue, hammy acting, and one-dimensional characters. Rated: 46/100 Nov 25, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member :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 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this movie years ago, but i watched it again now and I really like it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member horrible, cheesy, over acted, and not worth the time. It's your stereotypical made for TV, Lifetime movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
