Overrated and overhyped

one of my absolute favorites!

Let's be realistic.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Dear, I just want to congratulate the team; the writer, the director, the producer , the DOP and most especially the cast of this film and above all the two friends. These two girls showed a real bond of love and care between the friends and how they help and support each other in the times of their crises. The amazing thing what i had noted in the movie was the splendid feeling of sacrifice and care about your loved ones has been explained really in a sober and aesthetic manner. The whole team deserves the credit of this movie to be aired and thank you very much the production house for giving us a quality entertainment after a long time. I am just amazed and was having tears in my eyes seeing the condition of cancer patient, same was the feeling of my mother when we both were watching it.. May ALLAH save all of us from these kind of diseases.

We watched this at home on DVD from our local library. It is written by a woman and directed by a woman, both with a keen sensitivity for one of the big subjects here, breast cancer. It is funny at times, sad at times, but it rings very true most of the time. Real life is often messy , this story looks at it head-on and unvarnished.The two female characters met when they were 10, one an American new to England. They meet at school and become fast friends. They shared many of the experiences growing up, they even "shared" their first kisses. The American, all grown up, is Drew Barrymore as Jess, married by still without children. Her best friend is Toni Collette as Milly, also married and she has been busy growing her family.Paddy Considine is Jago, married to Jess, and Dominic Cooper is Kit, married to Milly. The big curve thrown here is when Milly is diagnosed with breast cancer, she needs to undergo treatment, while Jess and Jago continue to pursue having kids via IVF. As a guy I enjoyed it mostly for the actors and the characters they create but also am sensitive to the issue. My wife and I discuss it from time to time.SPOILERS: As Milly received treatment it seems to be going well but in a later checkup she is told that the cancer has spread, to her brain, and it cannot be treated. Se will die soon, as Jess is about to have her baby. Life goes on.

"How could the tumor have gotten so big? It's aggressive, like you. Jesus. Well, is it contained? In my body, yes. You should have gone back sooner. Yeah, thanks. Hadn't figured that out. "I'm not really a fan of tragicomic films with a terminal illness as a main topic. And yet I'm always impressed after accidentally watching such a movie. That was the case with "Philadelphia", starring the overwhelming Tom Hanks who was diagnosed with AIDS. In "Still Alice" Julianne Moore starred as the with Alzheimer stricken Alice. And not so long ago, I praised "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl". Also "Miss you already" kept me captivated. Especially by the stunning interaction between the two protagonists Jess (Drew Barrymore) and Milly (Toni Collette). Two best friends who shared every milestone in their life with each other. An inseparable duo. They know each other thoroughly. Both their negative and their positive sides. And they succeeded as actresses to give me that feeling that they really knew each other since their childhood. A bond they created over the years whereby they intuitively know how the other feels, what she thinks and how she'll react. That's why there's this liberty to respond humorously to dramatic moments.For me this was the main theme of this dramatic comedy. Even though tragedy hit Milly in a profound and poignant way, it's that undestroyable friendship that emerges every time. The two inseparable friends with each their own personal problems. Milly suffers from something she would be better off without. Jess and her husband are craving for something else. Milly wants to be cured from cancer. Jess has a desire to have children. Of course it's not so obvious to resolve both problems quickly. I was amazed about the fact that both ladies had a problem telling each other about these major events, although they are so close friends and shared everything with each other. And still do. Weird.Obviously this film will be regarded as a typical chick flick, with lots of unconstrained sniveling and sobbing. The themes are also women-related : giving birth (by the way, that scene was grossly exaggerated), best girlfriends for life, breast cancer, a disturbed positive self-image with the usual sexual problems after wards. It also could have been the opposite, in my opinion. In such a way that the male portion of the world could relate to it. Two male protagonists and real "buddies for life". One of them has testicular cancer and the other one has spermatozoa of poor quality. Same concept. But with less giggles.The only remark you could have about this film is that the obvious clichés, associated with these emotional issues, aren't avoided very well as in "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl". The two protagonists were sublime, although for me Barrymore will always be that little girl who played along with "E.T.". Perhaps both husbands Jago (Paddy Considine) and Kit (Dominic Cooper) played a minor role, but nonetheless an important one. Especially Considine was brilliant with that sarcastic, dry humor he used sometimes. I never imagined that seeing how someone vomits in a salad bowl, because of chemotherapy, would be sinister and comical at the same time. "Miss you already" isn't exactly a light-hearted film and definitely isn't suitable as entertainment to kill (sorry) a Sunday afternoon, but it still made an overwhelming impression on me. And although I thought I knew how it would end, it still was different than I expected. Women! Always against the grain ...More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

I really don't know how to review this title... Truly deserves 10/10 STARs..After movie was over, those characters in movie were like stuck in my mind. It was like.... i was almost living with those movie characters for 2 hours. In fact they were not just movie characters, they were just like people around ourselves in day to day life..Really.. this is one of the best movies i have ever seen. Everything in this movie is represented in such a way that, you will live every moment of this film. HATS OFF to director of this movie. Acting is really superb. Story line, Background songs everything is perfect. And most important thing to mention here is, performances of both lead actresses, MIND BLOWING is da only word!!!This movie is not at all about crying n crying. It may not make you laugh, but it is not at all boring, it will definitely make you smile. Anyone who likes movies like "My Sisters Keeper", will definitely like this one too !!!
