Criticism

" Schmonzette that pushes through the combination of love and premature death in the lacrimal gland, although the film is a refreshingly strong, not at all unlarmoyanten heroine comes up. "

" Physical infirmity? Non-existent. Dealing with illness and death? Just as long as it feels good and serves to entertain the public. "

" To keep the audience smiling, Kassell played down the symptoms of the disease: Marley's weight loss is claimed, however, is not to be seen, and despite chemotherapy she knows no fatigue. "

"Because of the unbelievable actor who overly cheesy and exaggerated dialogue and outrageous action and few women will enjoy playing with " " have. " No cure for love

" Sets you ready handkerchiefs. The film focuses on the great emotion that keeps the movie ready and can push arg to the lacrimal gland in one or the other spectators. So, watch and mitweinen -. Because it's so beautiful "
