Crappy film

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

It's a romance story of two terminally ill people who meet each other and slowly, with some ups and downs, fall in love. While the woman is more somber, the man teaches her how to have a good time within the confines they face. What's a little mischief to a guy who is going to die soon anyway? The relationship between the two feels genuine.You can pretty much predict how it starts and ends. There's also the obligatory scene in the middle where the woman leaves the guy because of a huge misunderstanding which could have been avoided if she had just talked things out with him. Please! No! Stop!I think it's a movie that is full of personality, character and quality acting. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried at least twice throughout the duration. I also think it follows a tired formula that romance movies need to break out of.

I really felt so sad that this film didn't get any nomination for the Oscar , Golden Globe or even for the Bafta Awards The story is so strong , the leading roles by Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulrone were very brilliant. Even the Director (Ed Stone) gave us a very good Job.the story is a bout a man and a woman falling in love ( Both having a cancer) but without knowing that the other one had it too. Amanda Peet gave us a magnificent Job especially when she gets very angry and hysterical after she thought that her boyfriend (aDermot Mulroneynd) knew about her disease.I always love to watch a film with a good Final scene because ( in my opinion) If the film hadn't a good end it will lose almost everything, and trust my the final scene in this film is so lovely and it will make u feel happy even if the story is so sad.

I am surprised at the low number of votes for this movie as it is really good movie and should have more exposure. Granted it was a little contrived sometimes but there are also many times where it doesn't fall into clichés.Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney have done an amazing job. They have brought the characters to life. Everybody else has a small role as movie belongs to the two leads.There are some obvious faults in the movie. It is not very realistic and a little contrived. But at the same time it also breaks some norms associated with these type of movies. While it may be unpalatable to some people, I liked this movie because of those parts. The part I am referring to is when Griffin who is portrayed by Dermot Mulroney, goes to meet his kids after coming to know that he has one year to live(It is not really a spoiler as we come to know about it just when the film starts). Instead of sharing a bonding moment, his efforts are rebuked by his kids. We see in him a realization that it is a little late to make up for the time he has ignored them in the past. He knows that he can get their affection if he tells them that he is going to die, but he chooses not to, treating it as his comeuppance.

I don't know why this movie didn't get more credits...it is a heartbreaking story and it happens all the time in the real world. I loved the chemistry between them, the acting was so real and it made me think of the way we waste our lives on stupid stuff instead of living like it is our last...i am definitely buying this movie. I cried 2 hours after it and the morning after i watched it....so sad....so true. I can't believe that people didn't like this movie and that it went directly to cable. That is probably because these days the public only likes to watch the movies with blood, guns and outrages nudity scenes. It says something really sad about our society but people will stay people...i am glad i am not one of those.
