This is as Real as it gets

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2012)

This is a fantastic film. JGL continues to develop as a actor and having seen him in Hesher and now this I am convinced that he will soon be one of the most sought after names in film. I was also very impressed with Seth Rogen here. He plays the broken but brave best friend to perfection, never willing to let his friend believe that its over but secretly knowing that this could well be it. It takes you on the emotional journey of the sufferer and his immediate circle of family and friends. It highlights the high points which are uplifting and the low points which are heartbreaking. It grabs hold of you and gives you an indication of what cancer is like, how it affects you and how it can damn well destroy you if you let it. But it also teaches you to never give up. This makes you feel which is what a great film should do.
This is as real as it gets.
