SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tub51461 Movies on the subject of death & cancer have been done before, but not to this context. I recall The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman. Those guys focused the entire film on getting their characters out of their daily lives and live their personal dreams to the fullest.On the other hand, the lead actress Madelyn Dundon with the script given to her by Daniel Roebuck & Jeff Lewis provided a more selfless take on the pains Grace had from the fear of death & her very immediate future. Instead, the goal was to accept the situation as it is because it may or may not change for the better and no one wants to live depressed & lonely.

t_pullins Her name is Grace, a sickly misfit teen who brings life back into a crotchety funeral director. Easily my favorite so far this year, this an independent film showing now that won't get the attention it deserves. Description is difficult, which points to it's originality. The first half is hilarious. The second is half heart rending. I was dubious how comedy could be found in a subject matter like this, but the movie somehow strikes its' humorous tone without being irreverent or inappropriate. The comedy is derived from the pesky antics, sarcastic quips, and quirky personality of the title character, a natural comedienne. Her contagious charm and inner strength touches the lives of those around her, including her own struggling mother, charismatic celebrity charlatan, and fellow child patients. Each was missing something in their life, yet also had something to offer. They just needed something, or someone, to bring it out. I didn't want to leave these characters behind as I left the theater. Instead, I wanted to invite them for coffee. Tears will flow at the end, both of joy and sorrow. (The depicted plight of cancer victims makes for sensitive viewing. Some characters make it through, others do not.) Grace reminds us that good and bad can be found at every turn, so while bad things can happen to good people, grace can be found.

sgray-65011 There was a lot of laughter in the theater, and a lot of tears shed. Really delightful show despite the heartbreaking subject. The entire cast was excellent but I think Madelyn was spectacular and will go far.
