Miss You Already

Critics Consensus

Miss You Already isn't shy about going for filmgoers' tear ducts, but its solid script and talented cast are often powerful enough to make up for its more manipulative moments.

  • This sweet, at times heartbreaking friendship story is worth being seen.

  • You'll need to take a medium size box of tissues for Miss You Already.

    Newshub (NZ)
    Top Critic

  • The narrative milestones of Milly's cancer - including head-shaving and chemo-induced puking - are well worn in cinema, yet it's the stale and predictable trajectory of this fictional friendship which really offends.

  • Ultimately, Miss You Already has a talented cast that is able to sustain the general momentum and tone of the film.

  • Barrymore and Collette often seem like they're fighting with the tacky material, but it's a fight they ultimately win; however many times you roll your eyes at Jess and Milly, you can't help but get caught up in their tearjerker of a story.

    Bernard Boo

    Way Too Indie
    Top Critic

  • Catherine Hardwicke's comedy drama could be filed under that cringeworthy industry category, "chick flick"... But the two leads are the no-nonsense Drew Barrymore and there is a waspish script by Morwenna "Absolutely" Banks in its favour.

Audience Reviews for Miss You Already

  • Jun 14, 2016
    Enjoyed, but wow did I hate Drew's husband in this. So selfish and such a clod, couldn't open his mouth without me wanting to strangle him. I don't think I've screamed "shut up" so much at a fictional character in my life, and I'm sure he is meant to be likeable. The rest of the characters I liked, even though there was definitely flaws on all but Drew's. Her character is kind of too good to be true. It's a well told story of friendship and the devastation of cancer. Yes, I cried a little.

    For the subject matter grittier than My Sisters Keeper, however towards the end it got a bit out of kilter losing some depth in exchange for light fluffy sentimentality. Not too sure about the slot machine catharsis either!

    Miss You Already wrings its tears mostly with honesty and provides great performances from Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette who takes an unsentimental approach to her flawed character. The story is what's lacking here with nothing new to offer for the cancer movie mold. Rating: 66
    Bradley J Super Reviewer

    Superb performances from Drew Barrymore and the always amazing Toni Collette shine in this emotional tale of life and friendship in the face of life threatening cancer. Emotional, emotive, funny and engaging. A real surprise.
