Miss You Already

Movie Rating: Geoffrey Crété

Milly and Jess have been friends since childhood. Together they shared everything: the first times and worst times, the ups and the downs. Now adults and married, their friendship is as intense as the first day. The vibrant Milly has a family and is a successful business woman, while Jess has been trying to get pregnant for years, without success. When Milly discovers that she is suffering from breast cancer, her entourage mobilizes to help her through. Just when Milly’s condition worsens, Jess learns that she is pregnant...

There is an undeniable magic at work in Miss You Already, more proof that director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Red Riding Hood, Plush) can do anything. The dynamic between the always amazing Toni Collette and the formidable Drew Barrymore (who replaced Jennifer Aniston and Rachel Weisz, initially attached to the project) is irresistible, natural, and the greatest strength of an otherwise very simple movie that relies too much on advertising stereotypes (the super-cool couples, super-cool homes, super-cool memories) to overcome its TV melodrama. If you can manage to see beyond these cliches, Miss You Already is a good melodrama, too foreseeable to be excellent but still quite touching and satisfying for its target audience.
