Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

princebansal1982 I am surprised at the low number of votes for this movie as it is really good movie and should have more exposure. Granted it was a little contrived sometimes but there are also many times where it doesn't fall into clichés.Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney have done an amazing job. They have brought the characters to life. Everybody else has a small role as movie belongs to the two leads.There are some obvious faults in the movie. It is not very realistic and a little contrived. But at the same time it also breaks some norms associated with these type of movies. While it may be unpalatable to some people, I liked this movie because of those parts. The part I am referring to is when Griffin who is portrayed by Dermot Mulroney, goes to meet his kids after coming to know that he has one year to live(It is not really a spoiler as we come to know about it just when the film starts). Instead of sharing a bonding moment, his efforts are rebuked by his kids. We see in him a realization that it is a little late to make up for the time he has ignored them in the past. He knows that he can get their affection if he tells them that he is going to die, but he chooses not to, treating it as his comeuppance.

jtudman I don't know why this movie didn't get more credits...it is a heartbreaking story and it happens all the time in the real world. I loved the chemistry between them, the acting was so real and it made me think of the way we waste our lives on stupid stuff instead of living like it is our last...i am definitely buying this movie. I cried 2 hours after it and the morning after i watched it....so sad....so true. I can't believe that people didn't like this movie and that it went directly to cable. That is probably because these days the public only likes to watch the movies with blood, guns and outrages nudity scenes. It says something really sad about our society but people will stay people...i am glad i am not one of those.

nicole_m13 Was this an indie/low budget film? The story for this movie was very good but somewhere along the way they missed something. It was definitely not the 'same old' story line. The time line was too condensed, it was like watching the Reader's Digest version. There were many things that could have been explained without adding too much time to the final product but that would've added a lot of clarity and made it more 'watcher-friendly'. Great acting on behalf on Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney but I understand why this was never released to theaters. Rent it to watch on a Sunday afternoon (or catch it next time it airs on Lifetime) and don't forget the box of tissues.

ferngully74 For a storyline that supposed to discuss the most sensitive topics in the world (which are life and death) the movie failed to convey the proper emotions or the certain level of connection that is expected between the actors and the viewers. On screen, the actors did not display the kind of chemistry that a "reel love team" should evoke, which was surprising when both have played commendable roles in romantic films and shows (i.e. Mulroney in "My Bestfriend's Wedding" and "The Wedding Date" and Peet in "Jack and Jill"). Needless to say, the movie can easily bore or annoy someone. I honestly believe that the way the movie presented the life of two people destined to fall in love with each other and eventually experience death, has been an utter insult to the viewers' intellect and emotions. It was an absolute waste of money, time and effort going to the cinema just to see this movie. It was very disappointing indeed.
