The opening ten minutes didn't impress me much, but after that, it was a ride in the best sense of the word. No film has given me so many different feelings that changed in my core while watching a film for a long time. It's not common for a film about cancer to feel like a little celebration of life most of the time, and yet at times, it moved me to tears. The applause on the open stage was undoubtedly deserved by the absolutely fantastic Toni Collette, but Drew Barrymore did great too. It should be noted that the emotionally charged story is accompanied by very tastefully chosen music. (80%)

Thanks to the acting performances, it's quite enjoyable, and even the passages that would be overly sentimental elsewhere are bearable here. That finale is very well executed in terms of filming, and the death itself is captured very well, but I'm still not sure what the film was trying to say. That dying hurts? That it’s cruel? But you can come to terms with it? Or is it just that there are actors who can act?

I was thinking about whether I even want to see it and it's not just a generic comedy packed in a 50/50 girlish way. as the beginning indeed suggests. The result pleasantly surprised. Several passages from the movies are absolutely flawless in every respect and the film itself, despite the slightly exaggerated length, runs smoothly, except for the slower beginning without any problems. And then just Dominic Cooper, who is everywhere now, even though many people don't like him...7/10
