Serious, saddening and comical - all in one.

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2013)

I was impressed with how well this film keeps within reality of its serious subject, but at the same time is able to make its audience giggle. It does not make humour of the subject of cancer, instead, it shows the reactions of an individual who attempts to cope with it. How he tries to find the light within the darkness and the effect that those around him have on his situation.
You gain a real sense of the trauma that a person goes through when they are diagnosed, however, in this case, we follow an individual who does his best to stay positive and how his life can suddenly change from the moment he is diagnosed.
It is touching, enlightening and softly comical.
The stars of this film are excellent and do a great job of portraying the very real scenario that it is based on.
