8 out of 9 people found this review helpful I watched this movie by myself and felt it had an important message about love, life and relationships. It also involves preparing for death from cancer when you have been diagnosed with not much time left. Even though it may sound very sad or depressing it is not really. It was a good enough movie that I watched it again with my wife because I wanted her to understand the important messages the film gives. She agreed and liked the film enough to tell her friends at work about it. The actors in this film are in there 30's where as most films addressing this subject deal with senior citizens. But at any age the message about "paying attention" to the experiances of life, not waiting to do things you want to and how much support you can get from another person in times likw this are well stated. I highly recommend this movie.WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Now THIS is a love story, a true love story. The relationship between the two characters is true to life and gives skeptics a reason to believe that the lightning bolt of love could happen at any moment. When the movie was over a few tears fell from my cheeks and a smile spread on my face. The raw honesty and gut wrenching truths of love and loss make this film one of the best romances I have seen all year! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This was seriously sappy and a tear-jerker of such mega-magnitude that not since Love Story has such a ridiculous story line and such healthy and good looking and quite active people people that were dying ever landed on a death bed. All that being said? I LOVED THIS! ohhh yes I did. Very much so. Two boxes of Kleenex & two hours later the only thing I regretted is Dermot Mulroney didn't show us his tushie - close but no....well anyway - his gorgeous self and the lovely miss Amanda Peet were perfect together. The soundtrack was equally as enjoyable. I'd laugh at myself for loving this so much but I see many others agree. Sometimes a person just needs a good snotty nosed cryin' kind of movie. This one fits the bill. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Too cute, no chemistry between the leads, tear jerker story. A downer in general. I didn't care about either character. A waste of time I thought. Thumb down on the fast forward from me.
