This is an alright movie... This is one film that plays out as "cancer quirky."

It is a shame that this movie about life is itself lifeless for so much of its running time.

Though it has many of the qualities that made teen terminal-illness weepies work, Hutchings' dramedy eschews much of those films' sincerity and intimacy in favor of sap.

The film is well-intentioned on all fronts, but director Peter Hutchings never quite breaks out of a filmmaking approach that feels quite bland and pedestrian.
