Renee Zellwegger turns in an excellent performance as a young woman who's mother has come down with cancer. Along the way, she deals with a boss who has no idea what she's going through (in fact, he thinks she has ulterior motives behind her reasons), a father who deals with his pain by sharing it with other women, and, of course, a mother fighting cancer.
Renee shows a lot of calm in the movie. The only part that I did not understand is how someone could BE so calm when they go through what she did. If it were me, I think every other word out of my mouth would be based on anger and resentments towards what my family was being forced to go through.
I do like Zellwegger, which is the only reason I chose to watch this film. I always thought I was not much into the "chick flick" genre, but some of them have some pretty intense moments!
