DVD Reviews of Crazy Sexy Cancer
DVD Review: A revelation of life with cancer
Summary: 5 Stars
I reviewed many films pertaining to the emotional, psychological, psychosocial, and physical aspects of cancer to show to my Health Psychology class. As I follow my father through his own journey with stage IV cancer ("there is no stage V") I found it even more important for my students to have an appreciation of the human side of the disease and the impact cancer and its treatment can have on one's life. Kris is truly inspirational. Her spirit, humor, candor, and resiliency are amazing. This film is a must-see for anyone going through a difficult struggle with a physical disorder.DVD Review: I love this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this documentary originally on TLC and I was absolutely captivated by the beautiful spirit, attitude and determination of this amazing woman. I am so glad she released it on DVD and I think it is very inspiring and uplifting. This is a must have for people seeking inspiration and seeing how Kris deals with adversity in a very positive, real way. She left such an impression on me and I cant recommend this highly enough....unforgettable! DVD Review: When I was ready, the book was waiting
Summary: 5 Stars
I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in May 2008. Had surgery, found out the cancer spread to my lymph nodes and liver. I was scared to death. My friend Marganne kept telling me about the Craze Sexy Cancer lady she was on TV, and wanted me to read the books. It took me months to find the courage to start reading about cancer. I thought the more I read, the more I researched, the more I'd see that I was in big trouble. Well, I finally got the books six months later, and my life has been turned around. So many things clicked with me, that I can say, WoW, Kris totally gets it.
since ready her book, a had to make some changes to Team Diane!! I let go of my oncologist at my primary hospital, whose bedside manner didn't jive with me, and now see a second year oncology Fellow, who works under the first oncologist. He is so patient with me, hugs me when I need it, and is not afraid to hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain what is happening to me. As it turns out my new Main Man at Penn State Hershey Medical Center was in residency with one of my two oncologist I see at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. My Team calls each other with ease to discuss my case. Thank you Chris for giving me the strength to let go of a very, highly trained oncologist, for someone who is also highly trained and educated, genuinely cares about me.
This is just one of the many truly life changes experiences that have come out of the CRAZY, SEXY, CANCER series. I've got my GalPal's, who comes to chemo with me, and turn it into a party. I try to turn everything I do into a little party.
Sincerely,
ryderone@verizon.net
DVD Review: great book and movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Have a friend who is going through breast cancer and this book and movie have turned her attitude towards what she is facing around.DVD Review: Funny and engaging film about a scary topic
Summary: 5 Stars
I applaud Kris Karr for taking us along on her frightening but inspirational journey through "cancer world" -- a scary place from which everyone is in theory just one doctor's appointment away. The film documents not only Karr's own struggles but those of several other young women who have taken a kick-a** attitude towards battling their disease and finding meaning within the harsh new reality they have been dealt. Because Karr is so young, beautiful, and surrounded by loving family and friends, she makes an arguably atypical protagonist with advantages other cancer patients don't have. But more power to her -- she uses her abundance of energy and charisma to document with grit and honesty some extraordinary individuals and some fascinating aspects of cancer treatment, both conventional and alternative. And she never loses her sense of humor and irony, making this film surprisingly entertaining.
Description of Crazy Sexy Cancer
Studio: Gaiam Americas Release Date: 03/04/2008 Run time: 90 minutesUntil 2003, Kris Carr's life resembled that of many other New York actresses. The attractive blonde acted in commercials, appeared in theatrical revues, and guested on programs like Law & Order. After she was diagnosed with cancer of the vascular system, Carr decided to document the experience (she has also written a book, Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor). This isn't how most people would react, especially if told that conventional treatments aren't likely to help. With the support of her friends and family, Carr becomes "a full-time healing junkie." For this TLC documentary, she also interviews fellow cancer survivors, like redheaded sisters Erin Zammett Ruddy and Melissa Gonzalez, African-American playwright Oni Faidah Lampley, and pink wigged tour manager Jackie Farry. While Carr acquires a New Age attitude (she digs the word "groovy"), Farry advances a punk-rock approach (her motto is "f--- cancer"). Carr may exhibit greater acceptance of her condition, but Farry's anger seems like the more logical response. Further, Carr's optimism is admirable, but possibly unrealistic for those without her support system or insurance benefits (Plus, she never looks sick and falls in love with her camera man during filming). Nonetheless, her sometimes risqu? sense of humor makes for entertaining company during this five-year journey. In Crazy Sexy Cancer, Carr doesn't presume to offer any cures for untreatable conditions, but provides a model for living well through low-impact exercise and proper eating habits. The plentiful extras include a yoga routine, guided meditation, detox tips, deleted scenes, and extended interviews. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
