Very disappointing...

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I read the description and OK, I thought this was one of those silly Hollywood movies where a girl finds love and blah blah. I was looking for something light to spend my afternoon with some chips and I ended holding an empty tissue box cursing the guys who made those tissues so thin! I cried int he beginning but the end, oh dear, the end was just unbearable. Please note I never get that emotional when it comes to movies, but Kate Hudson's performance simply nailed it. If you're not prepared to cry, don't watch this. You will also need a couple of tissue boxes with you and probably no one else around you so that you can cry all you want. This movie helped me realise so many things and I would watch it again in a heartbeat. I'm so glad I watched it.

if you want an hour and thirty minutes plus movie of overly emotional sentimental teary eyed one whole box of tissues movie - this is it! a mawkish story told in just the worst acting from start to finish.there is only one good thing i can say about this movie - it's photographed beautifully with colorful sets, grand effects, and nice music. but that is it! certainly the director didn't expect anyone to believe the plight of the leading role. she never looks ill or dissipated from the 'radical medical treatment' she received.no, no, no! what a waste of time. this melodrama would have been more suited to some past decade when people expected this role playing called 'entertainment'.ugh!

Cried my eyes out in both laughter and sorrow (in the best way possible). Kate Hudsons portrayal of a lively women who finds out she has terminal cancer, made the painful reality of cancer easier to understand and accept. The decision to have Marley not loose her hair didn't make this story less believable because the makeup and hair did justice to the image of suffering and illness. I felt and loved every moment of Kates performance and I loved every minute of this movie. I recommend it to everyone, not only because it teaches us to live our lives as if the world was ending tomorrow, but also because no other film has had the balls to address the delicacy of someone passing on with so much detail all the way to the very end. Most films cut out the hardest part of losing a loved one in the last minute, where as the writer tackled it with dignity and truth. I hope to see Kate Hudson in more films that demonstrate her bravery and talent with dramatic stories.

Good movie with a great down to earth and very believable storyline. Very real to life situation since my mother is also battling cancer. It is a very hard thing to deal with as this movie showed. Very easy to relate with the story. Very realistic acting with the actors playing very real life situations. The mother and father situation was very real to me. Although the Dr did everything he could to try and make her happy she did push him away and that is something I've seen in several real life experiences. Also loved the music. The songs selected must have very well thought out. Does anyone know where to get the soundtrack please?!!! thank you
