Too many fans seem to be blown away

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

One of my all time favorites.

Masterful Movie

It's rare that I give a movie a 10 out of 10. Yet, I had good reason. This movie was hands down the most beautifully developed and heart-wrenchingly performed movie I've ever seen. It really made me realize that there are still good people, and people who appreciate good people, out there. Though it's a movie, movies like this can only be based on real life experiences that really rip your heart apart. Greg is so quirky and awkward, but in a rare and hilarious way, and Earl just adds to the hilarity. His pure genuineness, kindness, and 'over-the-top humility,' as Rachel put it, come packaged in that awkward casing; deep down you knew those former qualities were always there, but they truly emerge and blossom as you see him give of himself to Rachel day in and day out. He almost sacrificed his senior year and future for her. That is true friendship and love at its finest.Though Greg started spiraling (understandably) when he found out Rachel was stopping treatment, he showed his true colors when he brought the corsage to the hospital to give to his date. My heart was very satisfied when I heard that ambulance as he got out of the limo. He proved to be a real gentleman and good person, which are rare commodities nowadays. I think the beauty of the movie truly hit me at the end of the movie when they revealed quirky and artistic things about Rachel even after her death. (On a side note, I knew that I couldn't believe Greg when he said she wouldn't die That was the only thing he said in that movie that didn't sound genuine.) As Greg walked through the room, perusing her shelves of concave book art, and as I watched him trace the squirrel's path from wall tree to wall tree, hearing him describe the story behind her ashes being thrown in the park behind her house, I couldn't help but fall in love with her character and the movie as a whole. The ending was frustrating and painful and deeply heart-wrenching, but piercingly beautiful. I would watch this 1,000 times more. I don't know if I even want to watch another movie like it because I'll always have this profound, magnificent.movie to compare it to. I am deeply wonderfully satisfied.

If you watched the trailer for this movie, you will probably expect the classic indie drama with romantic spice on the top of it. Well, yes this is that kind of movie. You will find the typical stereotypes in every young-adult movie; The awkward protagonist with a somewhat comical relieve best friend and of course the girl which the whole story resolves throughout the movie. Even though the concept seems predictable and recycled, it doesn't make it not enjoyable. The directing and editing of this movie are some work of art, the pacing flows smoothly every bits of the frame is really enjoyable. It has great soundtrack despite they aren't used often and the timing is perfect. The acting is relatively great despite some minor characters. In the end, this is not a flick for you to watch if you are expecting some Oscar level piece or some life transcending movie experience. But if you want to just chill and feel some good vibe to waste your time alone or with some friends (I prefer alone) This one will definitely be a classic.

I very much enjoyed this film. It is full of humor, relatable characters, and heartfelt moments. The tribute/parody films made by the characters were hilarious and definitely spoke to my inner film nerd. The film transitions from being very lighthearted to a more serious tone in the later part of the movie. However, this change was gradual and came across naturally. This film is cleaver with its use of humor and tasteful with its use of sorrow. It doesn't come across as sappy or cheesy when the emotional moments occur. Overall, I highly recommend this film for anyone looking to laugh and/or cry.8/10...but that's just like, my opinion, man# Of Times Watched: Once

Life changes for a philosophical high school student when his mother guilts him into keeping a classmate dying of leukemia company in this quirky comedy starring Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler and Olivia Cooke as the three title characters. The trajectory of the film is not hard to predict with Mann (the 'Me' in the title) coming to truly appreciate his new friend and reevaluate the way he has pigeonholed all of his peers over the years. And yet, the film remains thoroughly encapsulating thanks to witty, observant narration from Mann and a fun subplot in which Mann and Cyler "swede" classic films, 'Be Kind Rewind' style. There are some well done moose and chipmunk claymation scenes too that reflect how Mann feels about the girl who he has a crush on taunting him. It is Mann's highly calculated approach to surviving the high school experience that stands out the most though with his attempts to befriend everyone and every clique at his school to avoid developing enemies. He makes for a fascinating character too with his reluctance to call anyone a true friend out of fear of rejection. The final few scenes of the film go a little overboard in his painting Man as a generous, giving and selfless soul behind his detached exterior, but there is a lot to like in the way Mann comes to realise that he is not quite as cynical as he once thought. Given the key themes of death and dying, the movie makes a sharp argument for never letting oneself get too detached in life no matter how hard some things may be to endure.
