Synopsis

When Joan Weldon discovers she is dying of lung cancer, she sets out to reconcile her dysfunctional relationships with her three children, her husband, and along the way, her former best friend. The family's destructive ways are offset by messy and somewhat humorous attempts by Joan to set her children on the right course before she dies. In this big dysfunctional mix, they will all learn to connect in their own ways, and realize on their own terms what life is about.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
ldeweerd-1 This lovely film proves that you don't need millions of dollars to make a compelling movie, just a story and characters that the audience can invest in and care about. For my taste, there are never enough films featuring a strong, complex woman in a leading role, let alone a woman over 50, and the marvelous Kathleen Chalfant gets to shine here, along with an outstanding supporting cast. This film is equal parts funny and touching and was clearly made with tremendous care and passion, which is evident on the screen. Highly recommended!
kkonig "Isn't It Delicious?" The answer is yes! The cast is led by the luminous Kathleen Chalfont who manages to create a character cantankerous and irritating and endearing at the same time. The film is not always easy to watch, as it should be when dealing with death and dying, but as also it sparkles also with humor, well, you laugh, you cry. Particularly amusing was the comic use of the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey", presumably a tribute to the handsome and engaging Keir Dullea who plays Ms. Chalfont's long suffering husband. Kudos to director, Michael Patrick Kelly for his light touch and for what I understand is a husband and wife producing team of Mr. Kelly and Suzanne Hayes, who also has a delightful cameo as the fun and frothy lesbian side-kick to Ms. Chalfont's character's lesbian daughter. Here's to indie films!
r.gates Isn't it a shame that a film like "Isn't It Delicious" hasn't mainstreamed yet? This movie has it all - a great story, an unsympathetic heroine who ultimately turns us into loving believers, a great supporting cast, a pretty universal situation where life confronts death straight on and catches us having to deal with all our own emotions around family and dying. And yet there is nothing sad about this movie. Kathleen Chalfant is so worth watching, as is this film. I really am baffled as to why the people who need to see this film may not have the opportunity to do so. Death and dying are not subjects that make a big splash as a "date" movie but there are many people over the age of 60 who could so easily relate to this film. I hope they have the chance.
pwspt Do not miss this movie! It may be your neighbors next door or somebody we all know! It is beautifully filmed, and brilliantly written by Michael Patrick Kelly and Kathleen Kiley. Furthermore the main actors were truly "DELICIOUS"! Keir Dullea was right on the money, Alice Ripley was scrumptious and what an honor to see her act on the big screen after winning a Tony! Kathleen Chalfont was amazing, and has been seen last week on "Elementary" and "House of Cards." Ms. Chalfont is truly vivid in her dramatic/comedic performance as the lead with Mr. Dullea. Suzanne Hayes is so funny and fabulous! The brothers Jonah Young, was truly organic and lovable, while his brother Nick Stevenson and his wife were very NY WILD! It warmed the heart, made us all feel our own fears about life and death, and was a dysfunctional family trying to find out the truth. It was most realistic and riveting. It is on it's way to the masses!Michael J Slimak
