I was looking forward to this film for ages, and I wasn't disappointed, the only downside is a slight letdown of the ending. It just seemed a bit meh compared to the whole atmosphere of the climax.
And I admit. I cried. Just quietly to myself, and thankfully, I wasn't the only one.
I think it was just the way Joseph Gordon-Levitt acted just so goddamn lost as he was about to go into surgery. It just made me want to run into the screen and tell him it'll be alright.
I was also surprised the way the comedy fitted so well with the drama, it's not everyday that you see a comedy about cancer, and it's based on a true story too. Maybe not exactly to the "Exhibit Whore!" line but it's a wonderful story.
A few predictable moments but with the touching moments, the breakdown and the comedy/"oh god, that poor b*****d." it just works.
I definitely recommend seeing it and maybe more than once too even just for the performances of the brilliant star cast.
Plot: 7/10
Acting: 9/10
Heart-wrenching moments: 10/10
Til next time~
