May 27, 2008yet another love story , carefully crafted, well acted and surprisingly positive albeit it's subject matter.

October 21, 2008A perfect love story and tear jerker. Not all the dialog was great, but still recommendable. It's meaningful and tender.

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 b... read more
