There are moments when the film invokes the ghosts of Jimmy Stewart's Jefferson Smith and George Bailey
... Bold and very funny
When i saw the preview for this film i thought it looked pretty exciting, someone finding out they are going to die and want to blow all their money on a holiday in europe, sounds like fun. I was very wrong. Honestly it was the first film i have walked out of. I was sitting there waiting...and waiting for something to change my mind but it was just very predictable, very boring, very slow and very dull. I got more entertainment out of watching the bunch of 12 year olds at the back of the cinema making shadows on the screen. Trust me when i say don't waste the space of adding this film to your 'my selection'. If you want to see a good film about someone who thinks they are about to die see 'life or something like it' now thats a good film. cheers
Dont listen to wat those pinheads hav wrote above, i watched this film on the plane on my bak from australia, and i thought it was brilliant, i must hav watched it about 3 times, loved queen latifah.

i really enjoyed this feel good film, a little predictable but never the less entertaining, quite funny and also is emotionally touching and makes you appreciate life.
Reccomended for a girly night in.
ok...its predictable, it follows an ultimate formula - but I loved this film!
It had some inspirational moments and lovely twists along the way - it really does encourage us ladies to Carpe Diem!
Totally unexpectedly, I loved every minute....I laughed, I cried and I cheered along with the best of them.
If you fancy a light hearted evening that takes you on a little bit of a roller coaster and leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling inside then rent this movie. It is charming.
Its a popcorn movie to sit in cuddle up and watch, it has some very funny parts and some thoughtful ones, but never goes too far above being pure lovely entertainment.. Give this one a go, if you are disspointed you must have a heart of steel !
This is a story of a lady who tries to full fill her dreams and make them true.
This film is dull in the beggining i almost walked out but it gets much better later on
what a great film very funny queen latifa and ll cool j are brilliant together.
Its nice, simple and heartwarming. Nothing extraordinary but generally good. I would recommend watching.
