G Reviews the Netflix Original Movie “Irreplaceable you”.

Abby and Sam have been together since they were kids and are about to get married but tragedy strikes when she finds out that what they thought was a surprise pregnancy turns out to be some large masses that ultimately lead to cancer and now Abby and Sam are left trying to figure out what to do. 
Abby is a type-A personality as the movie says and she decides to help Sam by trying to find a suitable replacement for Sam through a series of interviews and dating sites all while going through her process of dealing with Cancer. 
Unfortunately this is a choice the movie makes that doesn’t really work out, it is cute on paper but as her support group friend Myron, played by Christopher Walken, tells her “it’s like watching a slow motion car crash”. I think the really issue with it is that the movie moves so fast that it tries to force moments to make you cry an feel for the characters but I was left feeling nothing after it all. It’s like a Nicholas Sparks movie, a bunch of moments of someone living their life with cancer and dealing with it without having any substance or stopping for a second to allow us to organically feel. Also some of the other stars like Kate MacKinnon and Steve Coogan don’t add anything to this and could have been played by anyone.
It’s not all bad tho, Christopher Walken seems to be the real voice of reason here and the one who gives more substance in the movie than anyone else. Also there are moments in the beginning that do deal with the struggles and “realness” of cancer that were tough to watch and acted well. Also I did like Sam and Abby’s chemistry.
Unfortunately this movie is pretty bland and seemed to miss a big opportunity with the “finding a suitable replacement” storyline to deflect the realness of cancer.  You can probably skip this and it won affect your life at all.
