Davis P A little bit of heaven is cute and well acted. The cast here really is pretty great, Kate Hudson is awesome in the lead role, Kathy bates is good here, Whoopi Goldberg is good to see, and hey even Pater Dinklage was enjoyable in his small cameo. This movie, in my opinion, is pretty well written, well acted, and the premise is smart and hasn't really been done exactly like this before. The chemistry between the cast members is electric, especially the romantic connection between the lead lovebirds. I'm not quite sure why this movie got crapped on and hated by so many, it was cute, sad and heart felt at the same time, and well done. I enjoyed a little bit of heaven, and I think you will too, and that is why it scores a big 8/10 on my movie rating scale. Go and have an enjoyable but also sad time with this one! Also,yes, this movie is definitely sad, but there's also a happy element to it.

SnoopyStyle Marley Corbett (Kate Hudson) is a strictly-single ad executive in New Orleans. She avoids any real commitments with her hookups. Her best friends are co-worker Sarah Walker (Lucy Punch), pregnant Renee Blair (Rosemarie DeWitt) and gay neighbor Peter Cooper (Romany Malco). She feels sick and goes to see Dr. Julian Goldstein (Gael García Bernal). While under, she sees God (Whoopi Goldberg) who gives her three wishes. She wishes to fly, $1 million and something for later. She has late stage colon cancer. Her parents Beverly (Kathy Bates) and Jack (Treat Williams) can't stop fighting even with their daughter sick. She wins a radio contest to learn hang gliding. Dr. Sanders (Alan Dale) tells her that chemo isn't working and she goes on a medical trial. She finally tells her boss Rob Randolf (Steven Weber) and he tells her about a million dollar payout from the life insurance. Peter sets her up with gigolo escort Vinnie (Peter Dinklage) nicknamed Little Bit of Heaven.Is it really a bad thing to cross a cutesy rom-com with cancer? The critics seem to think so. I don't judge it like that. This is by no means perfect. Whoopi Goldberg as God is distracting as hell. Gael García Bernal is not fully committed to being a bad English speaker. He should really throw in a lot of Spanish. Kate Hudson is at home with these silly rom-coms. Her flightiness is more of a defense mechanism so I don't really take it as cutesy. The cancer stuff allows the movie to transition to heartfelt seriousness although it's very jarring sometimes. The tone is a tricky thing in this movie and it does struggle. However I don't mind treating cancer with a lighter tone.

Stumbleine MT As a cancer survivor, I must say that this is one of the worst films that I have watched! The lead character goes through chemo like it's a minor cold, has a full head of hair throughout the whole film, and is incredibly active despite that fact that she is supposed to be dying of colon cancer.The lack of information regarding basic oncology is an insult to those who have had to go through various rounds of cancer treatments. It also shows how the research for the film was either totally inadequate or non existent.And just when they couldn't do any worse... she falls in love/lust with her doctor. And that has broken how many ethic codes? Pah! Cancer is no fairytale, so films that sugar coat it (like this one) really annoy me and belittle the long and painful journeys that cancer patients have fought for years.

Tlasalle Some of these reviews make me laugh. Yes, it's really sad but it also explores a part of life that many prefer not to discuss. I am in a medical profession, but I understand that Hollywood isn't worried about perfect medical jargon and since when are movies absolutely accurate with everything completely realistic? I think that's easy to get over if you let yourself get wrapped up in the story. It explores the stages of grief, which includes anger for those who got upset by some of Marley's (the main character) actions toward her parents. In a nutshell, it's a beautiful story that will touch your heart and make you appreciate the time you have in this world...
