Julia Sweeney delivers an extended monologue that's so exquisitely written and so emotionally touching that she manages the near-impossible task of captivating the audience for 85 minutes with quite a demanding material.

Poignant--but never depressing, thanks to Sweeney's sharp--and, it appears, therapeutic--wit.

Sweeny's monologue is truthful and funny in a loose conversational way that draws you in.

Sweeney proves that humor can be a lifesaver in the midst of pain,suffering and setbacks.

It is an odd mixture of the mundane, the deeply moving, the absurd and the tragic, all told with equal enthusiasm.

you will likely find this picture as therapeutic as a support group, should you or a family member be stricken with a cancer.

I watched this because I had 3 people in my family diagnosed with cancer, two of them lost there lives too it. This movie honestly though hardly even talks about it. It merely uses these people being diagnosed to tell a bunch of mini stories that happend during the 9months her parents and family lived with her again.

I adore this film. It contains just the right mix of humor and honesty. I must confess I've probably seen it 4 or 5 times. Just like a good stand-up comedy album, it doesn't wear.
