A young man gets cancer and has a hard time dealing with it. He breaks up with his girlfriend when his best friend catches her cheating on him. He also begins a romantic relationship with his doctor.
This is about as sappy a film as I can take seriously. The plot was not extremely eventful, more like "slice of life" style. Casting was awesome, so the good actors played their parts well. Some references to note here: Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also in A River Runs Through It (1992), The Lookout (2007), he was Hesher in Hesher (2010) and Wilee in Premium Rush (2012). Anjelica Huston was the Grand High Witch in The Witches (1990) "GRANDMA!". She was also in This is Spinal Tap (1984), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), Art School Confidential (2006), The Darjeeling Limited (2007) and Isle of Dogs (2018). Video was nothing fancy, but it got the job done. There wasn't much creative camera placement that I noticed, but it was not all too dark (horror style) or all too bright (romantic comedy style) either. Audio mostly worked. There was some inaudible whispering and were some crappy soundtrack songs, but I could hear dialogue and music stayed mostly out of the way. I rate this good, but it's not a keeper. Mostly I like who was in it because of what else they were in. You should probably watch it.
