Living Proof (2008)(TV)

Living Proof is the made for TV-movie about 'Dr. Denny Slamon', who gave so much of his time trying to create a cure for breast cancer. Fighting small budgets and a pharmacy corporation scared to commit research funds to his work on Her-2, this tells of his journey and the journey of several of breast cancer patients. This is also the final movie in my Amanda Bynes-marathon, and once again, like in Hairspray, she's taking the quiet backseat to allow the story and the lead shine.

The movie itself is well acted, and along Bynes as his assistant and Harry Connick Jr. in the lead as 'Dr. Slamon', actresses like Regina King, Angie Harmon, Jennifer Coolidge, Bernadette Peters and Tammy Blanchard appears, to mention a few. Being a tribute to an important research helping hundreds of thousands of woman so far, no-one should be surprised so many have taken the time to lend their hand to get this story told even if it's "only" a made for TV-movie.

With such good acting and a story worth being told, I'm happy I took the time to watch it. Loving women and enjoying breasts, I do as well salute Dr. Slamon and his work, the people helping him, and his family and friends supporting his fight.
