Featured review
I feel that this movie has not gotten the credit it deserves. I saw it at the Toronto film festival and was blown away by its thoughtful plot and realism. It's character relationship is unmatched in many films I see today and its capacity to deal with cancer in a real and supportive fashion should be commended. This is a love story of our era and one that all should see.
The director was able to take a difficult subject and turn it into a light hearted, real story that allowed the audience to both feel the characters frustration, upset and sorrow as well as laugh and understand their humanity.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA remake of the same-titled 1976 film.
- GoofsWhen the doctor is showing an X-ray at the beginning of the scene, she puts the exam backwards, meaning the right side is on the left, thus changing the position of the heart--a mistake any med student would notice. She also says that there are several lesions in the chest, whereas the X-ray appears to be normal from the distance the viewer can see. Additionally, an X-ray is not the best exam to identify this kind of cancer; it would usually be a CT scan--an exam available in the time the story is being told.
