A film that thinks it's ticking all the boxes but it's trying too hard, it's trying to make people cry without making you like the characters, I love a film with heart but this is rank average and lacking in genuine heart and just annoyed me to a certain extent.
I lost my wife to cancer when she was 28 and I didn't even get close to a tear watching this, if that doesn't tell you the film misses the point then maybe nothing will.
Maybe it's harsh but it comes across as written by someone who is trying to imagine losing their wife or best friend to cancer, self indulgent and cliche, that's not what a cancer diagnosis is. I cry at so many films and this didn't touch the sides emotionally. Casting I thought was poor for the roles.
I've watched lots of films about cancer before and after my wife died and this is the first one that actually annoyed me, lazy filmmaking.
Don't think I've ever written such a negative review but just felt the need to watching it.
