Directed by: Isabel Coixet
Released: 2003
i'd never heard of this one before i watched it. in short, a 23 year old married mother of two finds out she has two months to live. without informing any friends or family of her condition, she makes a list of everything she wants/needs to do before she dies. things like "tell my kids i love them many times a day," "sleep with another man," and "make someone fall in love with me" ... those last two are what the film really focuses on, and that's where it kinda lost me. not because i disagree with it or didn't like it or anything, but because mark ruffalo (the guy who falls in love with her) showcased some of the most pretentious overacting i've ever seen. i found myself rolling my eyes throughout almost all of his scenes.. and it's too bad, cause i think he's a pretty decent actor. his performance aside, i liked the film. it wasn't great, but it wasn't awful. oh-- and it's a sad one for sure. 6.5/10.
