This movie starts out great, you get a sense of Whoopi Goldberg's dramatic acting chops, Mary Louis Parker's ability to mold characters into her own & Drew Barrymore's ability to be meh.
The ending is reminiscent of another movie based on a character with AIDS, Philadelphia. Where Philadelphia excels, this movie missed the mark. In fact this movie is like a mix up of the subplot in Sister Act 1 (which Whoopi started in), and a hint of the main plot of Philadelphia.
Overall I give it a 5.5/10 because it's a heartwarming story for the first 3/4 of the movie, but near the end it got to be kind of blasé and choosy.
