"Well prepared ton of tissue because this movie is gonna be really emotional, god this movie is amazing, how they build the climax scene it's was really amazing, the acting is no doubt they're are a perfect cast, it's more sad that we know this is a true story, this movie is inspiring, when I first see the duration of the movie is 2 hours in my head is like this is gonna be long and maybe boring, but it's not, 2 hours is a perfect duration for this movie, overall it's very recommend movie"
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.
Zach's story is absolutely inspiring. I'm glad that this movie does him justice. Great performances and great music. I recommend it.
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.

- 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.
