Sap without the weight of reality, awkwardly combined with a romance without much chemistry.

A little bit of hell.

Kate Hudson dies prettily in this tone-deaf dramedy about a woman finding love while suffering from colon cancer.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
When a movie opens with a character telling you that love isn't important, that movie is definitely going to smack down that nonbeliever, because movies always believe love is important.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Who knew dying could be such a laugh riot? Certainly not any of us who have actually watched a loved one in the awful final stages of cancer.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
