A truly horrible story is told very well in this memoir of family tragedy and recovery from life- threatening cancer. After leaving Saturday Night Live, comedienne Julia Sweeney was newly divorced and looking forward to a new life in Los Angeles. But her optimism was shattered when she learned that her brother had been diagnosed with cancer. He moved in with her, and before long Sweeney found out that she was suffering from a rare form of cervical cancer. The story of Sweeney, her brother, and her parents (whose moving in with her gave odd comic relief to all the health problems) is a moving tale, tragedy leavened with moments of good humor and uplifting insight.

Julia Sweeney's touchingly funny one-woman show of how one person's bad luck can still be very funny. Centered on her real-life misadventures, GOD SAID HA! follows a year in the life of the talented actress and former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE cast member. With a promising career underway and the purchase of her dream house, her life appears to be perfect. Then GOD SAID HA! when her brother became ill and both he and her parents moved into the house, Julia moves to the couch to cope with not only her brother's illness, but her own. Julia comes to the realization that some bad days are so bad, they're truly hysterical. Winner, Best Film, Seattle Film Festival.
