An irreverent young woman who uses her humor to prevent matters from getting serious has a life-changing visit with her doctor.
Mildly
entertaining drama tries a bit too hard to take a slight and uplifting
view on death - at times on the verge of silliness.
Maltin*1/2:
"Well-meaning but meandering story...Improbable subplot involving a
budding romance with her doctor (played unconvincingly by Bernal) would
sink this film if that hadn't already been accomplished by some
embarrassing heavenly scenes with Whoopi Goldberg as a God-like
character who dispenses advice to Hudson!"
I'm an American living in Regensburg, Bavaria. Born in Munich I spent my first 10 years in Kirkwood, Mo. 1971 we moved to where I am now. Finished German school in 1981, afterwards studied philosophy and German literature and languages. 1982 I joined the management of the local film club's cinema Filmgalerie, and from 1991-2001 I co-owned an own arthouse cinema STALI (Stadtamhofer Lichtspiele). In between I also was partner of the cinema and music bookstore Angry Red Planet for a few years. In the 80s I co-founded the local industrial band and performance art group Lyssa humana that officially still exists, but currently doesn't perform (last time was for our retrospective exhibition in 2010) at the Kunstverein Graz. I was also member of the shortlived noise rock band Hammersmith. Since 2001 I work for the customer service of a large American online company.
