Stereotypical Hollywood dramatization of a serious medical issue. Usual hooks of attractive, successful, creative woman (a plain working person wouldn't do) and her sudden encounter with the effects of ALS on her and relationships with family. The usual script hooks of cheating husband; too proper relatives; and the best hook of all, a soon to be hired caretaker about as artificially made up (scripted) to be the opposite in character as a writer can think up. Caretaker is made to be her foil and it is tediously obvious, right from the very beginning - soon to be best friend & confident.
Casting, a cop-out to attract audience as none of the acting was at all believable. Well, maybe to the rom-com, romance paperback viewers the acting and script formula was Teflon perfect.
