A simple but enjoyable film with good performances.

Really sensitive film. Loved the two main actors.

Could have slipped into sentimentality, but some good acting and a tight, realistic script didn't let it. Just two people who meet at an important time of their lives.
Hilary

weak 7 slow and predictable

A love story with a difference very sad at times but it can be very uplifting

A fairly cheesy movie. However, it was also quite moving watching two people love one another with abandon because they know their time is limited. Some good great shots of New York and some familiar sights around the Village that are fun to see.

A very moving story. Very emotional, I shed lots of tears but I did enjoy this film.

says
A truly enjoyable movie. Chock full of humour, romance, pathos, drama, tragedy and happiness. Definitely a Kleenex movie.
Both main actors did justice to their roles
Esther
says
sweet tragic movie - love and hope exists still in seeming hopeless situations.
heartwarming.
Wayne W.
says
Divorced dad finds that he has a limited time to live and meets a single woman in the same predicament. Entertaining enough, not too soppy, well balanced considering it can only end one way.

enjoyable funny and a bit of an kleenex movie. It showed that even when the odds are against you you can still do all you want right to the end

What a beautiful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was not all doom and gloom relating to death as would be expected, but rather showed how much love two people can have for each other and how they can live life to the full regardless.
A must see.
