| User ReviewRalph RSome good comedy you might only get if you've ever worked in EMS. A little tear jerking at times in laughter and sadness. I was pleasantly surprised! |
| User Reviewabubakre tWow that was a great movie how did i miss it 2005, I just saw it 2 ds ago on chn5. I wanna see it again |
| User ReviewRobert MAs someone who drove an ambulance for 16 years AND suffered from clinical depression, I identified with this movie in so many ways. A must see for EMTs! |
| User ReviewMara BAny movie with Kathy Bates in it is bound to be good. I'm usually not a fan of Lifetime movies, but this one is a cut above. My only quibble: the argument scenes between her and Robin Thomas just don't quite ring true and things seem to magically resolve between them too quickly. I read that in the book that the movie was based on the couple does get divorced. Great, uplifting ending! |
| User ReviewDanette/Dani AA shame for poor Jane, she has no confidence and wants to help people. Although, not the ideal EMT, she is older, a little overweight, but her heart is in the right place. It tears her marriage apart, but gives her a much needed confidence boost. |
| User ReviewJeffrey LGood acting, but not much more than you'd expect from a lifetime movie. Kathy Bates is always good, tho. |
| User ReviewVicki MBased on a true story, it's one of those about women standing up for themselves and pursuing their dreams whilst balancing family and their man's ego. |
| User ReviewBuggy BThis was quite good, but Cathy Bates always is. She's funny and relatable here in a heartwarming and bittersweet story of a long term marriage going through some changes. Bates plays an anxiety ridden food writer who experiences a sort of mid life crises and decides to become an EMT despite her fear of among other things closed spaces (like the back of an ambulance) Nobody including 'Jane' believes she'll make it through the training and her struggles provide the comic relief. When she receives her certificate and joins the volunteer fire dept it causes problems within her marriage and recently sober husband. Based on actual events and also directed by Bates. 02.12.14 |
| User ReviewMoo CThis is cute. At first I thought it was a TV series. |
| User ReviewVictor VGood Sunday afternoon entertainment. Funny at times but, mindless in the end, yet it inspires a bit. |
