- TriviaEven though Peter Dinklage has a brief part, he was the 4th highest paid person in the film, above Lucy Punch, Whoopi Goldberg, and Treat Williams.
- GoofsWhoopi Goldberg as God tells Kate Hudson's character that when she gets her first wish of $1,000,000, it will only be worth about half a million after taxes. But when she actually gets the money, it's in the form of proceeds on her $1 million life insurance policy. Proceeds from life insurance policies are generally not taxable.

Featured review
"I have cancer...who wants desert." Marley Corbett (Hudson) is a young and fiery ad executive. She has everything going for her. Great friends and a personal life that she is OK with. After a visit to the doctor changes her life she decides that a change to her personal life is needed, fast. Without trying to give too much away I have to say the preview was misleading (to me anyway). I was expecting a comedy along the lines of "50/50". While this did have some funny moments in this it is much more of an emotional movie then I expected. I don't want you to misunderstand me on this because this was a very good movie and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but don't go in expecting to laugh as much as you did at "50/50". I would compare this more to the TV show "Big C". The movie is good and definitely worth watching but this is more of a love story then I expected as well. Not to sound morbid, but I would call "50/50" more of a guy's cancer movie while this one is more of a chick flick. Both are good but I liked "50/50" more. Overall, funny and emotional and very much worth watching. I give it a B+.
