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!
The Bright Side is directed by Ruth Meehan, written by Jean Pasley and Ruth Meehan. It stars Gemma-Leah Devereux, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Siobhan Cullen, Derbhle Crotty, Barbara Brennan, Karen Egan and Kevin McGahern. It is produced by Tony Deegan with backing from Screen Ireland, RTE and BAI.
