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? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
I don't know why this movie didn't get more credits...it is a heartbreaking story and it happens all the time in the real world. I loved the chemistry between them, the acting was so real and it made me think of the way we waste our lives on stupid stuff instead of living like it is our last...i am definitely buying this movie. I cried 2 hours after it and the morning after i watched it....so sad....so true. I can't believe that people didn't like this movie and that it went directly to cable. That is probably because these days the public only likes to watch the movies with blood, guns and outrages nudity scenes. It says something really sad about our society but people will stay people...i am glad i am not one of those.
