Melissa McCarthy and Chris O’Dowd play a happy couple until an unfortunate event devastates their lives.

Why are there so many bad reviews about this film? Jesus Christ! It's a feel-good movie. Sometimes the plot is predictable but there are plenty of funny moments to compensate for that. The music is fine. The acting is also fine. And theWhy are there so many bad reviews about this film? Jesus Christ! It's a feel-good movie. Sometimes the plot is predictable but there are plenty of funny moments to compensate for that. The music is fine. The acting is also fine. And the emotional moments are, you guessed it... also fine. So if you're going to black out a great movie, then you first have to learn that movies also remain movies.… Expand

We need more movies like this. It deals with loss and how difficult it can be to continue daily living and yet still maintain hope. Well acted. Great music. Moments of laughter. Highly recommend.
