Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Germaine Fryc I didn't know it would be a tear jerker, but it was a very good movie. The actors were great and Hilary did a great portrayal of the illness. It is such a horrible disease, as are others with loss of muscle. That is the reason I agree with assisted death. No one should have to die that way.

SnoopyStyle Kate Parker (Hilary Swank) is 35 with the perfect husband Evan (Josh Duhamel) and the perfect life. Her life is turned upside down by ALS. One and a half years later, she needs full-time help. She fires her nurse for treating her as a patient and hires Bec Cartwell (Emmy Rossum). Bec's life is a mess. Her best friend is Jill. Wil (Jason Ritter) has a crush on her but she's banging her married professor Liam (Julian McMahon). She's an aspiring singer with stage fright. Kate doesn't fit with her old friends Keely (Ali Larter) and Alyssa (Andrea Savage) anymore. She befriends John (Ernie Hudson) and his wife Marilyn (Loretta Devine) who also has ALS.The first most surprising thing is that Emmy Rossum is funny in this. She's doing Fiona from Shameless and she's good at it. Hilary Swank does her best impression of ALS. Once the comedy gets going, the heart can open up. The stage is set for the tear ducts to flow. I also like that Evan is a character with a couple of levels and Kate has a complicated dueling reaction. Bec's many personal problems are a little too broad. The film piles on her problems too thick. In the end, this is an unabashed tear-jerker and one must submit to the manipulations. Also the title is horrible. I get the meaning but it sounds like a bad self-help chant without knowing the story behind it. A better self-help phrase would be "Someone who sees me". At least, that sounds better.

Marton Robert i didn't have a lot of expectations for this movie, i went in like "OK, i'm gonna watch this" and i thought that after it's gonna be done, i would be like...meh, it was OK.But damn, this movie made me cry (the ending...when she jumps off the bed and goes to her, i started crying like a baby, i didn't cry in 2-3 years lol and this movie made me cry). It was a beautiful and sad movie, the actors played VERY WELL! this is my first review on the site and i'm here since 3-4 years ago, but only this movie made me write one.Watch it alone so you can cry, because YOU WILL CRY. I don't give 10 to movies, almost never, but this one deserves a 10 for sure.

westsideschl Stereotypical Hollywood dramatization of a serious medical issue. Usual hooks of attractive, successful, creative woman (a plain working person wouldn't do) and her sudden encounter with the effects of ALS on her and relationships with family. The usual script hooks of cheating husband; too proper relatives; and the best hook of all, a soon to be hired caretaker about as artificially made up (scripted) to be the opposite in character as a writer can think up. Caretaker is made to be her foil and it is tediously obvious, right from the very beginning - soon to be best friend & confident. Casting, a cop-out to attract audience as none of the acting was at all believable. Well, maybe to the rom-com, romance paperback viewers the acting and script formula was Teflon perfect.
