Not far into this movie I said to myself, "this style reminds me of Twilight." Sure enough, when the end credits rolled up I saw it was directed by Catherine Hardwick. I think this could've been a much better film in the hands of someone else. I wasn't a fan of the cinematography at all. Even though Collette and Barrymore give great performances the movie drags. Tysonitter totally took me out of the story. I mean he even has his AAR tattoo practically screaming in your face. I thought it was a poor choice. I appreciate the film's bleak look at cancer and how it affects the person diagnosed as well as everyone around them. It was emotional and as someone who has experienced loss and grief, quite triggering. I felt rather depressed (I mean, it's about cancer) and I kind of wish I'd known beforehand what it was about. This is a movie I would advise others to skip, but to each their own.

One of the quotes touting this movie said Beaches for 2015. While yes, I do mostly agree; I don't recall many male characters in Beaches. Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore are fantastic as best friends that have been there together through everything thick and thin. While Toni Collette's character takes a dark turn the portrayal of friendship and the sadness of preparing and dealing with the death of a loved one is something we all eventually must face. Tissue Alert! Good flick when you need to shed a tear.

"I just don't want to rub it in that my life is great right now." Jess (Barrymore) and Milly (Collette) have been friends forever. They have experienced the best and worst life has to offer them. Their strength of their friendship is tested when Milly is diagnosed with cancer and Jess becomes pregnant. This is a very good movie that isn't as depressing as you may think. The chemistry between the two actresses is perfect and you really feel like they have been friends for years and years. The movie is comedy, drama, real and emotional all at the same time without ever becoming sappy or totally clichéd. I think that women will enjoy this more than men, but I did think it was good and I actually do recommend this. A great story about true friendship and being there for each other no matter what happens. It's a toned down 50/50 for women. Overall, a very heartfelt comedy that will leave you feeling happy, which is hard to do with this subject matter. I give this a B.

I really don't know how to review this title... Truly deserves 10/10 STARs..After movie was over, those characters in movie were like stuck in my mind. It was like.... i was almost living with those movie characters for 2 hours. In fact they were not just movie characters, they were just like people around ourselves in day to day life..Really.. this is one of the best movies i have ever seen. Everything in this movie is represented in such a way that, you will live every moment of this film. HATS OFF to director of this movie. Acting is really superb. Story line, Background songs everything is perfect. And most important thing to mention here is, performances of both lead actresses, MIND BLOWING is da only word!!!This movie is not at all about crying n crying. It may not make you laugh, but it is not at all boring, it will definitely make you smile. Anyone who likes movies like "My Sisters Keeper", will definitely like this one too !!!
