So, the story is so so, kind of cliché really, with the boy dying and the girl totally clumsy but good hearted. All that suggested a romantic story that you all know very well and still you're gonna watch anyway. But, this movie has something that, at least for me, the rest of the same plot movies didn't, the great performances. Especially from the leading lady, who was really good portraying the naive girl who falls for the bad boy. The romance, on the other hand, was okay, with the first part of the movie seriously better than the last one. At least the ending was good, so 6 out of 10.

Bittersweet romance
mister_bateman12 October 2020
It starts out as a very cute romance movie (although the girl is overdoing the awkward, shy act a little bit) but the premise of the boy only having one year left to live is a setup for such a blatant tear-jerker, so better strap in for a ride on the roller coaster of emotions.
A few scenes almost seem out of order and confused me. For example we learn about the boy's condition very early in the movie from a scene where the girl's parents are talking about it, when by that time they haven't even met him and the issue hasn't even come up yet. They could have introduced that a little better.
But it's an enjoyable film, definitely more uplifting than gloomy, the acting is great and there are some likeable side characters.
Guess I'm the crybaby now
