After getting trashed by UK critics, Nicole Kassell‘s A Little Bit of Heaven is headed over to the states and the first trailer has arrived today. One can see the cause for the negative response, as this cancer romantic comedy seems all over the place tonally. I don’t expect more from Kate Hudson, but to see one of my favorite actors, Gael Garcia Bernal, play the generic male lead is a bit disappointing. We’ve also got Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage with some odd, obvious comedic bits and Kathy Bates and Whoopi Goldberg rounding out the rest of the cast. Check out the trailer and poster below via Apple.
Synopsis:
A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN is a love story set in New Orleans about an irreverent young woman who unexpectedly falls in love with her doctor. Marley Corbett (Kate Hudson) is young, beautiful, and wildly funny, but she’s afraid of opening herself up to true love and commitment. Though she uses her humor to prevent matters from getting serious, a life-changing visit to her doctor (Gael Garcia Bernal) sends both of them on an eye-opening adventure of mutual discovery, leading to revelations neither thought possible.
A Little Bit of Heaven hits theaters May 4th and on VOD about a month before on April 3rd.
