La couleur du courage

Unfortunately I missed the first half an hour of this made for TV movie but it totally sucked me in and I wish I'd seen it from the beginning. A very inspiring story, Sarah Chalke gives an amazing performance here as Geralyn Lucas; a young woman at the start of her life with everything going for her (great husband, supportive family, friends, dream job) who is diagnosed with breast cancer. Geralyn fights back on her own terms using courage, humour and never without her bright red lipstick.

Sarah Chalke brings warmth and sensitivity to the central role and the dialogue is witty and fun (even though she's going through cancer and debilitating chemo). The effects her sickness has on her husband and friends as well as herself are also well explored and felt realistic. Based on a memoir 04.13

As a 28 year old woman with breast cancer, currently in chemo...this movie really helped me a lot. It gave me the hope and courage I was searching for. What a great movie, I am reading the book now...You will laugh and cry and laugh again. Sarah Chalke does an amazing job showing the emotions you go through when diagnosed and during treatment. Even if you have never had or don't know anyone with cancer this movie is just plain good! And if you do have cancer this movie is a positive guideline for you or know someone with breast cancer this movie will help you understand what your loved one is feeling emotionally and somewhat physically. Please check it out!

it is a must see!

I tuned in to this movie just to have something on the TV to clear up the dead air. This movie turned out being really amazing. Just when you think it's going to be cheesy and too much comedy for the subject matter it finds a way of really showing the heartbreaking road to being diagnosed with cancer and moving on after cancer.

Sarah Chalke was amazing. I don't know if the movie would have been as good without her playing the part, many times it was her face and expressions that told the story. It's also a somewhat layered story not just showing what she is going through when she is diagnosed, but also giving us a look into how her husband, her friends, and her family deal with it. Over all fantastic job.

Very inspiring story of a young girl with everything; great job, husband, success, beauty...and suddenly getting diagnosed with the big C. She's terrified she will lose her fabulous life, but more importantly her life, period. She has a very touchy feely moment with a cab driver who shares his cancer experience and wisdom. She is fortunate to have a loving husband and a very good support system from friends to family to her mentor at work who is also a survivor.

Throughout the movie she faces every step from the mastectomy to chemo to hair loss to nausea to fear of death. She forges ahead determined to fight.

Sarah Chalke was great as the courageous Geryln. Watching Gerylyn you can't help but compare her to yourself, and how we get bogged down in our petty problems for years and years on end. She's truly an inspiration.
