Anybody who can sit through this with completely dry eyes has a snowball for a heart.

I initially went to see this in order to kill time on a rainy Sunday afternoon. And, also. because even the world's oldest comic book fanboy can get overloaded on superhero movies. But, to my surprise, I actually found myself liking this!
For starters, it has a male lead who's actually a complete unknown to me! Sam Claflin, as Will Trainor. A 21st century aristocrat with an MBA who becomes quadriplegically paralyzed in a traffic accident. His gradual transition from self-pitying fatalist to relatively cheerful Charlie, over a period of six months, is due mostly to Louisa Clark.
Lou, as she's known to family and friends, is played by Emilia Clarke. Picture the looks of a pre-WITCHBLADE Yancey Butler with the emotional range of Moira Kelly (from THE CUTTING EDGE) and the lovely accent of Rachel Weisz (from CHAIN REACTION and the first two MUMMY flicks). But, with the fashion sense of Reese Witherspoon's character during the first ninety minutes of LEGALLY BlONDE!
It's this arsenal of qualities that brings Will out of his morbid funk. Even if only temporarily.
I refuse to spoil the rest for you. Suffice it to say; any guy wishing to impress his girlfriend, with how sensitive he is, will succeed beyond all expectation if you take her to see this film! Fair warning, though. If you make the mistake of not bringing a whole box of Kleenex, then you'd better bring at least two of those (otherwise useless) boutique cubes of them. Because you'll definitely need them!
