THE BRIGHT SIDE Movie Trailer HD - "Funny Touching & True"- Sunday World " A Merrier variation on ONE FLEW OVER CUCKOO'S NEST" - Irish Times When life let her down, only love could lift her up.
World-weary stand-up comedienne, Kate McLaughlin is in a dark place - she wants out.
Her morbid prayers are answered in the form of a cancer diagnosis.
To placate her family, she begrudgingly agrees to undergo chemotherapy.
Armed with staggering levels of cynicism and a plethora of blackly comic jokes, Kate gets off to a bad start with four other women she encounters in the chemo ward; four women from all walks of Irish life, whose unsolicited friendships are perfectly designed to blow open her shut down heart.
Inspired by Anne Gildea’s best-selling memoir I’ve Got Cancer, What’s Your Excuse?
THE BRIGHT SIDE is a fresh new dramedy about the healing power of love, friendship and the importance of just having a laugh!
