Wasn’t a big fan of this one for like the first hour or so but it got a lot better. Not really the type of movie I typically go for but holy shit was it emotional. A certified tear jerker

“I didn’t have any reason to live… look what I have now.”
This movie made me realize that things can always get worse. And maybe more pain is coming. But I think I’d still take it, just to see what happens next. Maybe it’ll be worse. Or maybe, somehow, it’ll be something bright.
I kinda relate to Dane. He’s not "the chosen one", He’s just… there. Always present, reliable, deeply loyal, surrounded by people who love him, yet never the first choice. That quiet kind of loneliness, the search for meaning without ever really finding it kinda hits.
This is a deeply sad but at the same time heartwarming film. The cast is incredible, and Jason Segel deserves way more recognition. He can make you laugh and break your heart in the same breath, which is honestly unfair.
At its core, the film is about friendship, commitment, and people who are simply, fundamentally kind. And, of course, it shows how brutally a disease can destroy a family’s happiness in no time.
The opening scene sets the tone in a hard way. There’s no illusion, no false hope. Nicole is going to die. And she has to tell her daughters. Their reaction is exactly what anyone could expect, and it’s devastating. That’s when you realize the film isn’t just about revisiting memories until her death. It’s about understanding why her death feels so unbearably heavy. When you get all the POVs of how they learned she would simply die, you cry a little more :/.
Oh, and that guy dressed as Elvis? Insufferable. Their best friend is literally living with them to help them survive the severeness of illness, grief, and two kids, and your concern is whether he’s paying rent because you only see him as a burden because he has no "real" job ? Some people really wake up every day and choose to be useless (so to be fair he's realistic at least).
