A boy and a girl who are both suffering from cancer (he's in remission) meet in a support group. The girl has lung cancer and difficulty breathing and has to have oxygen. They fall in love, travel to Amsterdam on a kind of Make a Wish journey to meet the cantankerous author of a book that she loves. The man is horrid to them and they return home only to find out that the boy is now dying. It's very sad and a tear jerker. The performances of the actors are good. It was a tough movie to watch. Laura Dern was good in it and the girl especially, played by Shailene Woodley was excellent.

This type of movie is one I don't typically go for, but this was good and not overly sappy or anything like that.

sad. It is just so sad and hard to deal with doctors and dying. The medical profession in reality is pretty darned insensitive to peoples' feelings.

This movie has a sad ending. I don't know if I was prepared for this when I watched it. I probably wasn't. I liked the visit to Amsterdam and the Anne Frank references. I liked seeing her house, as an aside and the place where she was confined throughout most of the war before she was taken.
