The Big C Audience Reviews 3j19z

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Shopaholic35 The Big C has it's moments when you can just let go and laugh but the majority of the time it revels in its own sadness. It would be difficult for a show that is based on this subject matter to not be somewhat depressing but overall there are moments of light. Although it can be quite dark that does not mean that it's not an entertaining show. It's very insightful and seems quite realistic. I know if I found out I had cancer I might behave this way.I personally think this show only needed 2-3 seasons max as it got a little slow towards the end but it was still pretty good. But honestly give it a chance as it is quite inspiring. Other peoples sadness and misfortune has a way of making you reflect on your own life and realise what you truly have.

maryellenowen2 I enjoyed this series very much for the first few season's. But somewhere around where her husband starts his writing, Just started seeing how self absorbed the main character is. Just started to annoy me. I know she is ill etc. But her character just worked my nerves where by the last few episodes I lost any feeling what so ever for her.So that I didn't enjoy the last season at all. Too bad for me. The acting is good. and the character of Kathy sure wasn't that way at one point. I enjoyed it so much for the start that I felt cheated by the writing. Wonder if there was a change in the writers at some point? Not sure why. I must have some kind of selfishness issue myself.

daveash092 Contrary to what others think on this board, the feelings that Cathy goes through and what she sees are too real for me. I am diagnosed with a brain tumour and I see things, hear things and stick my fingers up to the world.... Cancer makes you see all too clearly all that life's about and what its worth living for. This prog has kept me going through my my darker days. This is a series not to be missed and I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh and a cry at the same time... Ally McBeal with cancer thrown in (Even though Billy did die of a tumour in that series too).. I would also recommend this to carers of people with cancer, cos to me its how I feel all of the time.

pietpiet2 This is quite simply put "trash". If you're a fan for shows like Weeds, Nurse Jackie etc then this is not for you, wait if you're a fan of quality then this is not for you. Awful may not be the word but sure is the feeling you get with this show, though Laura Linney is quite the acting talent I would not recommend this to her fans while the rest of the cast is "ok" the only name worth mentioning is Oliver Platt's. The basis of this show is how you would alter your life if you only had a set time left on this blue ball we call earth the answer, irrational, amoral and for lack of a better word "unfunny". In retrospect the foundation of this story might have had potential but the execution was just horrible. The protagonist (Laura) is not funny and to be honest not very easy to like. While we watch how someone goes from good house wife to some common two bit "ho" relying on her disease as justification throughout the series. Simply put this show lacks major continuity and we find ourselves looking at the umpteenth show destined to be cancelled and forgotten but in this case I welcome it.
