      Dying with cancer
    Review created: 07/05/08

    This is a tear jerker at times. Although the characters are seen coping with death, there is something missing in this movie--perhaps a deeper character development would have helped. There are a few very good scenes, but most of them follow from a desire to realistically portray a workaholic approaching death.

    This is a movie that I watched on cable and fell in love with. It had everything that I went though when my daddy was diagnosed with cancer. It just hit home in so many ways.
    It is a wonderful movie that will make you laugh and cry. It has already been borrowed out to other family members.

    This movie is great for people having to assist or that have someone that is having a battle with an illness. this movie helps you in some form or fashion to deal with it. the main star in the movie Michael Keaton does an outstanding job and it shows the struggles that he must conquer in order to live for his unborn child. This is a movie that should be seen by many and it may also gives them some uplifting moments in dealing with their own tragedies.

    My Life - A man is diagnosed with terminal cancer just as his wife finds out she is pregnant with the couples first child. He doesn't think he will ever meet his child so he starts taping himself so his child will know who he is. Sad movie, she it with a chick.
