This movie is awful.
Boring, gimmicky, and time is better wasted on downloading C-list films that know they're C-list. I'm down with the cheese in the title if the movie itself serves up cheese. How am I supposed to feel?
Okay, this movie does a sh*t job of balancing the tragedy of cancer with the euphoria of new-found chemistry and love. It's not an impossible task for a film team to conceive of and to execute, while I do admit it may be a lofty goal for certain casts/writers/directors.
If you're going the cancer route, at least throw in some of the wrenching realities. If Kate is going to be rom-com dying, let her do her thing and don't throw in Gael's Serious Face. Leave that to Justin Long or something.
If you want to nail bittersweet hit up Mia W. I guess some of the Minivan Majority may be able to relate to Kate's character. You know, if they were the whimsically irreverent but successful come-what-may bullet dodgers suddenly struck by a life-altering tragedy who also found a super hot and allegedly deep doctor with an accent who made their trials and tribulations worthwhile.
And don't even come at me with, it's just for fun. What? Check your subject matter and come correct.
