Debbie Downer

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2014)

The title reflects my demeanor, not the movie. Perhaps I missed something here, but to me the movie was more about a sweet teenage love story than it was about cancer. I am an adult woman, and I really think this movie was geared towards teenagers who clearly got something out of this that I did not. The acting was really good, but unlike every other viewer, this movie did not touch me as it did others. It was not sad until the end, but it still did not rock me or make me cry. I did not think it was an incredibly depressing film, but it also did not pull me in as much as I thought it would. It's more of a 6.5 and it was worth a Saturday night, but did not live up to the hype in my opinion.
