Sureeya Sibi At first i thought it was a conversational/comedy movie based on the title and i didn't even read the story line before watching and i had no idea about ,how the movie will go. It's totally a different subject. Taking a serious issues that caused/causing many problem among the Americans and they bought it to the big screen with their best. Annie Parker is a brave women . what she went through was totally unbelievable. Believe in the cause and try your best. May be something will turn your way. Don't lose self confidence. So much of inspiration, pain, frustration, anger played a vital role to the key story line. An awareness movie. Not to forget Aaron Paul role. He gave his best once again. Underrated movie. A movie not to be missed .

Tony Heck "If you knew those codes could you change your future?" Annie Parker (Morton) has watched her mother, father and sister all die of cancer. After dealing with all of that she is told that she too has breast cancer. While going through treatment she begins to wonder why she got it. She starts off on a life long research project to find out if breast cancer is hereditary. At the same time Dr. King (Hunt) is trying to figure out the same thing, only she has to deal with not getting the funding she needs. This is a true story of the almost cure for cancer. Obviously the fact that this movie deals with cancer it will be emotional but not in the way you expect. This movie will make you mad, very mad. Knowing how close Dr. King was getting but at the same time being blocked at the funding level because the powers that be didn't think it was important enough. This was in the 70's when she started. Just imagine where we would be today if she got what she needed! This is an important movie that should be seen. I recommend this. Overall, a very important movie but not a movie to rent for straight entertainment. Morton is great. I give it a B+.

mhigi What a great movie about a difficult subject. The writer and actors/actresses did an incredible job depicting a cancer survivor's journey with compassion, humor, and empathy. While heart wrenching at times, I believe it accurately depicted what it must be like to endure such a horrible disease and how it impacts their family and loved ones. I had the opportunity to see this movie at a charity screening. So afterwards, the audience was able to hear from both Annie Parker herself and the director/writer, Steven Bernstein. What an incredible duo they make filled with absolute passion! Annie is an amazing woman who will inspire all those who see this film. She is a woman of character, tenacity, strength, perseverance, intellect, and is all heart. And Steven the writer is someone who takes his trade very seriously. It took him 7 years to make this film with its own story line of barely having enough funds to pay the actors and complete the film. I have recommended it to friends and family to see when it is available. Well done, BRAVO! Wishing you all the best of luck in any of your future endeavors!!

pstraub-820-432510 The subject matter is quite heavy but is told with sincerity and real-person humor. The title may seem a trifle misleading since the contact between Annie and the researcher is tangential at best -- they meet only once. The the "decoding" goes beyond finding and sequencing the BRCA1 gene. We witness the unwrapping of emotions and the development of a life-fulfilling spirit in Annie and many of the people to whom she is connected. Some relationships work, other don't, but at its core the film remains true to its belief in Annie's undying spirit. The only negative that keeps my review from being a 10 is that a few of the scenes in which the finding the BRCA1 gene proceeds are stiff and almost formulaic, in stark contrast to the reality of the rest of the film. Go see it and you will be talking about it to many of your friends.
