A Little Bit of Heaven: This film and Kate Hudson's performance are anything but heavenly

Verdict: Hell, actually

Rating:  Star Rating A turkey

A Little Bit Of Heaven is a grotesque example of ­Hollywood schmaltz in which Kate ­Hudson poses and preens as a young woman ­finding love with a good-looking doctor (a hapless Gael Garcia Bernal) as she dies, picturesquely, of colonic cancer.

Throw in an unspeakable script, sluggish direction by Nicole ­Kassell, an unbearably smug ­performance by Whoopi Goldberg as, would you believe, God, and more attempted laughter-through-the-tears moments than there were in Love Story, and this is about as morbid and schlocky a romcom as you can imagine.

At one point, a senior consultant comes in, gazes solemnly at Ms Hudson and says: ‘There has been no improvement.’ In view of the ­unrelenting ghastliness of her performance, that is an understatement.

Hell on earth: Hudson puts in a ghastly performance in this schmaltzy film
