Our suggestions
If we knew how much longer we had to live, what would we choose to do with the time we have left? Set in a British hospital, My Happy Ending follows poised and put-together Hollywood star Julia Roth, who seems to be in the sunset of her career, as she begins her journey with a critical medical issue. Preferring to be incognito, Julia is instead thrust into a room with three remarkable women who, with humor and camaraderie, help Julia take on the most important and challenging role she has ever played: herself.
"Starring Andie MacDowell (Sex, Lies and Videotape), My Happy Ending is a dramatic comedy about an actress whose play is canceled on the same day she discovers she has cancer. Her only support comes from four peculiar women she meets during her treatment. It's the kind of movie that could easily fall into sentimentality or cliches. And, despite some production elements still needing improvement, there are excellent performances and a freshness to speak freely and openly about death."
