One of the quotes touting this movie said Beaches for 2015. While yes, I do mostly agree; I don't recall many male characters in Beaches. Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore are fantastic as best friends that have been there together through everything thick and thin. While Toni Collette's character takes a dark turn the portrayal of friendship and the sadness of preparing and dealing with the death of a loved one is something we all eventually must face. Tissue Alert! Good flick when you need to shed a tear.

Review: This is a well put together movie about friendship and a woman who lives life to the fullest, before she is diagnosed with Cancer but I must admit, I did get slightly bored and depressed by the time that it had finished. After recently losing family members and going through breast cancer with my mother, I really did relate to the concept of the film and the emotions that Milly (Toni Collette) and her family go through. I did find the relationship between Milly and her best friend, Jess (Drew Barrymore), quite sweet but for some unknown reason, I struggled to keep my eyes open through the movie. The fact that Milly had a loving husband and young kids but chose to give her best friend more attention while she was suffering with the deadly disease, struck a bad cord with me but the acting is superb from Toni Collette who brought a lot of emotion to the role. Although the concept is universal, it still seemed like a chick flick, mainly because a lot of screen time is dedicated to Milly and Jess's friendship. Anyway, it's a watchable film which touches on some delicate issues that people in every day to day life, have to deal with but it's not the type of movie that I would watch again anytime soon. Watchable!Round-Up: I've always rated Toni Collette as an actor because she's able to play a variety of roles and always puts in a top performance. She first hit the big screen in the highly acclaimed Muriel's Wedding in 1994 and she hasn't looked back since then. The Sixth Sense (1999), made her an household name and with top movies like Little Miss Sunshine and Shaft, she has proved that she can take on complex roles with ease. This movie was directed by. Catherine Hardwicke, 60, who also brought you Thirteen, Lords Of Dogtown, the Nativity Story, Twilight, Red Riding Hood and Plush. Although this movie wasn't for me, that's not to say that it's a badly made movie and the performances are top form.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $1.1millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their romance/drama/comedies starring Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette, Dominic Cooper, Paddy Considine and Jacqueline Bisset. 4/10

Greeting my friends. I've rated this movie with an 8. It wasn't a big production, it wasn't fancy, it wasn't based on a biography (at last!), it was based on real life events something that unfortunately many of us have experienced in our own families. Great acting. Greatly approached. Good sense of humor, at the right place at the right time. Cancer is a taboo word, we are afraid to say it we are afraid to think about it and we surely do not know how to cope with it. In my opinion the film industry doesn't appreciate enough good movies like that particular one in fear of upsetting people. As far as Toni Collette is concerned she was great, one of the best female performances of her career and I believe she should have been considered for a nomination for the Oscar awards.She and Drew Barrymore made a perfect match. Haven't seen something like that since Terms Of Endearment with Debra Winger.
