Unflinching yet unburdened, Miss You Already is like the best kind of hug: warm, reassuring, cathartic, and a fleeting but vital reminder that there’s at least as much good in the world as there is bad. Read full review

To accuse it of being manipulative is like accusing it of being in color. The genre is melodrama. The assault on the tear ducts and heartstrings is part of the contract, and the movie more than holds up its end of the bargain. Read full review

It’s a sad, emotive, important subject but it deserves a more detailed, heartfelt film than this. Read full review

It doesn’t help that Barrymore and Collette don’t have much chemistry for best friends forever, but Collette’s work is so compulsively watchable that Miss You Already is worth a watch for that reason alone. And precious few others. Read full review

"Miss You Already" is wonderfully made film from director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen) I didn't care what I was going in for because without Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette's sparkling chemistry this film wouldn't work at all. Drew Barrymore and Toni Collete play best friends"Miss You Already" is wonderfully made film from director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen) I didn't care what I was going in for because without Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette's sparkling chemistry this film wouldn't work at all. Drew Barrymore and Toni Collete play best friends since childhood, they oppose life challenges. Milly (Collete) a mother of two, who's happy until her breast cancer diagnosis. American-born, British raised Jess (Barrymore) and her husband (Paddy Considine) have been dealing with infertility issues. The film is definitely a chick flick but director Catherine Hardwicke surprisingly directs this very properly and makes the script by Morwenna Banks be shiny also let Barrymore and Collette shine. This film is directed wonderfully despite the director's other films, two stunning performances by our two leads Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette. Grade A-… Expand

This is not like one of those you have already seen cancer themed film, there's two main characters and their two sets of struggles. They both are very close friends since childhood. When they grow up, one settles down comfortably in life, but fall seriously ill and another one struggles to build a family.

I think the film's strength was the development in every scene without wasting a bit. There's always something happens that keeps us alive. I expected the usual, but it gave me a different entertainment. In the movie everything was between two friends, even each had their own family to care about, this story concentrated what came between them and how they fought together.

Great direction, shot in wonderful places, but the actors were decent. They should have been better, especially Toni Collette. To me the sentiments were very weak knowing the theme belong to the tearjerkers. Initially you might think it is a female version of '50/50', almost it was, but tried to be a different with additional story expansion. Overall a good movie, little fun to watch, you might enjoy it, but I can't guarantee.

A remake of "Beaches", this time with problems of this time, infertility and breast cancer. This time it's the outgoing girl who gets sick, the quiet one who is the rock, probably more true to real life.

When one of them is diagnosed with cancer, it presents new challenges for them and their families. No question this is a chick flick, but the weepie component feels forced, making it fall short. Even though the impact of the disease is depicted in devastating detail, it's trying too hard for sympathy and sobs. The performances are engaging, the humorous repartee softens the setbacks and Catherine Hardwicke's direction is effective. It just lacks the dramatic punch that would have made it memorable.… Expand

Miss You Already is a drama in which the bond of a friendship is tested after one of these people is diagnosed with breast cancer.

A film that lends itself to reconciliations and emotional manipulation but it has a nice feeling of realism thanks to the scenes in the hospital which does not make the disease something irrelevant.

The film isn't something spectacular but works fine with its elements and the good performances of its main characters Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore.
With this film's director Catherine Hardwicke gets a little back on track after her recent failures and offers her best work as a filmmaker since Lords of Dogtown.

As I said it's not great but it's a drama with good elements, enough to keep one's attention… Expand
