Despite widespread triggers from the afflicted, there is guilty comedic pleasure in the situations depicted with a heartwarming overall tone.
Quality romcoms, even with a serious diagnosis as this, are hard to get by nowadays. Definitely have a go at it.
FYI: to earlier comments that cataplexy doesn't cause narcolepsy,and that its a symptom. That was a mistake in the description that was corrected. In the movie they state that he has narcolepsy with cataplexy so it makes it clear that it is a symptom that not everyone with narcolepsy has and that it's not necessarily the same for everyone with the illness.
The disease in the film could easily be played for the cheap laugh. And it surprisingly wasn't. A minor spoiler. One dirtbag character you think . Actually you find out isn't, but still kind of is all in the span of maybe 3 minutes.
The cast is very well put together for such an under the radar kind of film. Freeman actually is much more subtle and doesn't play it over the top which he on occasion does. So seeing him here being a bit restrained is great.
It's never going to be the A level romantic comedy drama but falls comfortably in the genre. The one criticism could be it's neither that funny but it's never that dramatic either which sets it in an odd middle zone.

- Citazioni
Charlie: I can't drive with the radio on in case anything by The Pointer Sisters comes on and I swerve into a ditch. I can't walk along any beach where there might be frolicking seals. I can't eat Kettle Corn. I can't boogie board. I can't swim in any body if water that is higher than my chest, especially if there's some guy playing with his gorgeous Golden Retriever. I can't barbecue unsupervised. I probably can't go to The Grand Canyon just based on the pictures I've seen 'cause it's too breathtakingly beautiful. I would like to have kids, but they either have to be boring or spoiled because cute, adorable...
Francesca: [interrupts] Charlie! We'll adopt the worst kids we can find.
- Curiosità sui creditiThere is an extra scene during the credits, where Charlie and Francesca share a bathroom together. Charlie watches her applying roll-on deodorant and falls asleep in the sink.
