I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
That was an excellent one.
Better than most people think
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Really tragic theme. Some things is totally necessary. First, why are his children mentioned when they do not have a feature in the movie? They don't know anything about disease. Waste time in movie. Second, comics scene in their situation (Phoenix and Griffin) in cinema, train etc are very stupid. Sorry, but both of them are very sick and in that situation he jumped in train. Third, he broken several cars. Yes, he is very angry, but that is a criminal. In realistic life? Little possible. Love story in movie is really touchable and possible in real life, unfortunately. Completely story was to be about love in very hard moment and maybe hope in healing future. No comics, no children, no aggression. This is a sufficiently difficult subject to interfere with all of the above factors that have no function in the film.
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 had no idea what the movie was about since i had queued it ages ago. Well...this was no light-hearted comedy, to put it lightly! I ended up sobbing through the entire second half and kept crying for an hour afterward. I just decided to let myself go with it and embrace it--forgetting what that can do to you the next day--and woke up with a vicious headache.But it was very good. Amanda Peet was flawless in this role. I love how she never overacts in her films and this was no exception. Mulroney was also very good & I don't usually care for him. Some may call this film too sentimental. To which i say: So what? Be sure to grab a big roll of paper-towels. And make it Bounty (the quicker dryer-upper.) And take 2 Advil ahead of time or you'll pay for it later. I sure did. This is not one of those gratuitously depressing films.~NN
