A Little Bit of Heaven
Funny Gael Garcia Bernal doing such a commercial film, this must be his most commercial film to date

Re: A Little Bit of Heaven
Watched this today, a lovely film about a young woman who found out that she had cancer and falls in love with her Doctor. It is descibed as a romantic comedy but I was a wreck by the end the tears were flowing freely and I wasn't the only one.

The trailer is so amazing in being one of, if not the worst, trailer I've witnessed, technically.

Re: A Little Bit of Heaven
Quite an entertaining little film. It's a funny yet sad comedy. Poignant too, with it's underlying message about being nice to people and making the most of life whilst you still have it. The celebratory ending felt a little too contrived and cliched in my book though.

Re: A Little Bit of Heaven
very touching film. its better if you dont know the plot beforehand (i didnt) so that the film feels less contrived...for me it was a shock to learn the cancer was grade 3 (ie little chance of recovery). This reminded me of Philadelpia, with her appearance gradually going down hill like Tom Hanks's did in that movie.
medical note from a med student - i was suprised that Doctor Garcia didnt ask for about family history of cancer..ah, of course... hes not a real doctor!
medical note 2 - if she'd had a labrador retreiver dog instead of that fat cat of a canine, then she might not have died.

I didn't know the plot either as I was supposed to be watching Gnomeo and Juliet hence I hadn't any tissues at the ready!raj101 wrote:very touching film. its better if you dont know the plot beforehand (i didnt) so that the film feels less contrived...for me it was a shock to learn the cancer was grade 3 (ie little chance of recovery).

Medical advice please raj101, why don't real Doctors look like Doctor Garcia? Would make us all feel better and as I have 2 cats and no labrador will I live forever.
