What a beautiful effort directed by Justin Baldoni, based on the real life of a young teenager taken to soon. It's wholesome and uplifting despite being an ultimately tragic story. You know when reading the synopsis - a teenager with cancer, theres bound to be pulls on the heart strings. And this delivers.
I had fear it would go down the same old path we've seen before, but this is done so well and you cant beat things inspired by true stories.
I was pleasantly surprised. Disney always winning my heart ...even into my thirties...
An avid film buff and am slightly amazed that this is the first review I am writing.
Remember back when it was okay to like a movie that inspired you? Before everything got "gritty" cause it's "soo edgy and artsy" that way? Back before everyone was overly critical? Remember when we had movies like "Radio", "Remember the Titans" and "Forrest Gump"? Movies that just made you feel good about life? That is this movie! I'm here to tell you it's the perfect way to end the negative year that is 2020.
Look...I appreciate a good gritty film as much as the next guy, but when that's what everything becomes it's not original anymore, it just gets old. This is simply the film we need right now. So do yourself a favor, ignore the negative critics, don't let them take that from us again! Just enjoy this truly moving and powerful true story with your family. A story that will give you a positive outlook on your life upon its completion. Bring the Kleenex.

That makes people look like theyve been binging emotions inside a bunker , sniffing and snorting teargas, just to be able to still feel alive after viewing a film like this, because its a sad true story with extreme high and lows, and extremely disney guttsey, and remember toothpaste wont releve the pain so dont smear that into your eyes.
its a cancer in youth film plus music talent on the plot, with swirling talents of the acts, and a cosy musical content that that lures you into the abyss of deathg and despair. its clever but genericly made, even though based on a true cloud(story)
so if youre babysitting tonight with your love one, balm yourself in handkerchiefs, youll need them, i will for sure evade and evacuate miself from the premises when my better half through an awful lot of years will be introduced to this sadeyed megamonster deathromcom flick, the mourning usually lasts 3 days and three nights after an event like this( and i will never forget the titanic days)
so im grumpy and old and not easy to frail, but it took me over the edge , so have a look at my recommends

Very touching true story about the last few months in the life of a young man dying from metastatic osteosarcoma. Very moving; I cried a lot.
I'm from Europe and didn't know the real story, but this is one of few movies that really got to me.
I cried pretty hard and that doesn't often happen to me.
obviously based on a true events but the way the caracters grab you,make you feel the same as they do is a gift.

- TriviaZach's personal items were used in the movie, including the signature quilt on his bed, "Pants." tee, red plaid shirt worn when recording the song "Clouds", his red and black crutches, and a pair of crazy mirror eye sunglasses.
- GoofsEarly in the story, it says on the screen that it is the fall of 2012. Zach's mother takes him to the hospital and a shot of the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis is shown. In the background you can clearly see US Bank Stadium. However, they didn't even break ground on building US Bank Stadium until 2013 and it didn't open until 2016, so it wouldn't have been there in 2012.
