    This was seriously sappy and a tear-jerker of such mega-magnitude that not since Love Story has such a ridiculous story line and such healthy and good looking and quite active people people that were dying ever landed on a death bed. All that being said? I LOVED THIS! ohhh yes I did. Very much so. Two boxes of Kleenex & two hours later the only thing I regretted is Dermot Mulroney didn't show us his tushie - close but no....well anyway - his gorgeous self and the lovely miss Amanda Peet were perfect together. The soundtrack was equally as enjoyable. I'd laugh at myself for loving this so much but I see many others agree. Sometimes a person just needs a good snotty nosed cryin' kind of movie. This one fits the bill.

    Top film sad one too, staight to the heart

    Griffin is divorced, living in a flat in Manhattan while his sons and ex live in the family home in Westchester. He gets bad news from his oncologist: cancerous lesions have spread through his chest, and he has only a year or so to live. He audits a psychology class on death and dying at a nearby college where he chats up a woman who turns out to be an assistant dean. She's Phoenix; she smiles but keeps her distance, warming to him slowly. He tells her nothing of his situation. At his apartment a few days later, she finds a stash of books on death, dying, and terminal illness: will she put two and two together, and what will she do about it?

    Excellent movie with an even better story and acting. It portraits the life of two people in one of the most defining moment in the life of anyone, the relationship they get into and the issue of love in the last days of someone's life. Incredible movie.

    As depressing as this movie could be. I still found myself finding it funny and sweet. I smiled, laughed, cried, aww'd. I felt drained by the end, but that's not a bad thing.

    I'm not a huge love story movie watcher, so this was one that I must say I would not have watched if not highly recommended by several flixster friends. And am glad I watched it. It is a delightful, funny, up beat love story that does have it's sadness. But chooses to focus on the funny, happier side of living life to the maximum, no matter what. well worth seeing.

    Such a wonderful, powerful movie. I thought that it would be a nice chick flick, but it turned out to be quite horribly sad. It was a wondeful story of two quirky people finding each other and falling in love before their time was up. Very, very sad. Have a box of tissues close by. If you don't cry then there is something very wrong with you.

    A true emotional powerhouse!!! I cried. I laughed. I enjoyed every bit of dialogue and savored every unique scene of NYC. Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney gave two amazing performances. This movie gives me hope in several ways: about filmmaking, life and the power of a good story. It's definitely one of my new favorites.

    I needed a good dose of chick flick and this did just the thing to fill it. I won't even start to talk about the unlikelihood of any of it - just that it was a great story about two people who wanted to live what little they had left of life to its fullest. I laughed, I cried, and I'd watch it again & again ;)

    Wonderful story about trying to live even though you know your dying! I don't think Dermont Mulroney can possibly get any sexier!

    A little slow at the beginning but touching and heartwarming soon after. Griffin & Phoenix fall in-love and discover that they both have something in common, something which shocks them both.
