WOW! This was GREAT. In every way it was so GREAT. The casting, acting, production. I first read the novel when it came out and Loved it. Hard subject matter but so well written. As an RN, not something I am unfamiliar with. I was enthralled from start to finish.

For those unfamiliar with the story, it really is a tale of three high school seniors, one, a female, with a new diagnosis of leukemia. Two, males, make movies that they share with the girl who is home during treatment. It's a tale of maturation and growth, of love and friendship. It was marketed for teens. I read it in my fifties and Loved it. It was a wonderful read and they made a fantastic movie.

Sad to know there will be no further seasons. I felt there was excellent character development, acting and filming. Storylines were well written, easy to follow and had no dumbing down. They were very cohesive. I am sure the budget was fairly high per episode and that contributed to the series being cancelled. I feel it should seriously be reconsidered. The costuming was done quite accurately and I found it quite believable.

My thanks to the entire cast, writers and crew. Y'all did absolutely FABULOUS!! You All have room to be Very Be Proud. This was a great Ensemble Cast, A Great Writing Crew, Wonderfully Directed, Beautifully Filmed and Edited. How it comes to be cancelled is a puzzle.

Gotta love Roland Emmerich for creating light hearted entertainment. I enjoyed this for just that reason. The acting was fine, no academy awards coming out of this but the actors were all on top of it, the premise was fun and wildly out there but so much could be taken with a degree of concern. It was a great balance of humor and drama. Never a dull moment. The ending left me wondering if a sequel is in the plan.

The movie is full of cgi, lovely shots of Halle Berry with her beautiful smile and the moon cast as a machine in need of NASAs assistance to remain in orbit. Halle as an astronaut is perfect.
