A Little Bit of Heaven (2011)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Crappy film

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I wanted to watch a nice comedy movie so I picked this from my watch list. Kate Hudson, comedy.. sounds nice, I expected something cute, I didn't read the plot before watching. So it turned out to be a cancer movie.. OK,, that works for me two. But somehow, it was hanging in the middle, it's not comedy, not funny and not dramatic nor touching. Acting is bad. but you don't expect Oscar performance in a light comedy, right! .. anyhow.. most of the story looks like unnecessary load of details.. troubles with the father, troubles with the mother, troubles with the friends, love the doctor, have cancer! .. it's like collecting any problem that can come in someone's life and adding it randomly. The usual "I have cancer so I'm mean to everyone" with Kate Hudson's acting is just not catchy! .. when she tries to do heavy dramatic moments she ends up looking very unnatural and unreal. Fantasy! dreaming once and having three wishes blah blah blah .. not really fantasy but not really realistic.. Not the best massage for cancer patients. I recommend you NOT to watch the movie. If you like good quality movies or even a cute flick for fun, this is neither.

A Little Bit of Heaven. It's got romance, comedy and tears. This film gives you mixed emotions all the way through. With the amazing actors, Kate Hudson and Gael García Bernal ,who play the main characters, they do an amazing job at portraying how live is like with a terminal illness. It really does touch your heart. This film shows you that whatever happens in life you have to live it to the full and you don't take live for granted. I have recommended this film to my friends and family who have also said the film was emotional and funny. I recommend this to all of you reading this currently and I have rated this 10 out of 10. You will LOVE it.

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.

So anything goes in Hollywood movies to make them pretty and saleable! Granted! But how about some correct jargons and dialogue like a medical instead of "your cancer is all over your colon" ... and how about, can a patient on chemo go to a public place like a night club full of smoke? oh wait she is accompanied by her doctor who just a while ago asked her for a "drink"... a drink? really? in the middle of treatment? I donno what to say about this movie... I wish it promoted a little bit of awareness and hope for the cancer patients instead of making it look like oh so rosy and then have an ending to make it romeo-julietish! Gael Garcia is soo good in Spanish films, I don't know why he acts so weird in English movies. Casting was mismatched. There was no chemistry. Why did they cast Gael Garcia? Kate Hudson did not look like a terminal colon cancer patient. Losing so much blood (which is unavoidable in colon cancer sorry Hollywood) will make her anemic and very sickly...not so much color and energized eyes ... And why are we rooting for her? The character did not come up in anyway that likable or extraordinary, even with her constant grin. Oh and those jokes thruout the movie... !!!!! speechless
