Quickie Review: A man diagnosed with a rare form of Cancer learns, through his ordeal and recovery, a valuable lesson: Friendship, love, family, and humor are important and are good for the soul, the mind and the body. Based on a True Story.
I liked this "Feel-Good" movie. The audience liked it, too.
Here are the things that I didn't like about this movie: Why didn't toothpaste foam come bubbling out of her mouth as she spoke? Since he had a painful back, why didn't they do the "Cowgirl position" on the floor, instead? Why would you want someone with Cancer to sign an Organ Donor Form prior to surgery? I mean, what if the Cancer has already metastasized? It's like wanting/needing to harvest organs from an AIDS/HIV patient! 'Ridiculous. And speaking of harvesting organs, they charge you an arm and a leg, whether you live or die during/after surgery, but they want to harvest your organs, if you die, for free---What A Rip-Off! I say, if they want to harvest your organs if you die then they should not charge your next-of-kin for the surgery! After all, they're gonna make a ton--I repeat, a TON, of money off of your harvested organs when they do transplant them to some other people! I live across the street from a hospital and a few blocks away ( walking distance ) from another hospital; and, every now and then, I see doctors, nurses and other medical staff personnel smoke cigarettes on the sidewalk, NOT IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE DOORS!!! Especially since there is a law banning cigarette smoking within 20 feet of a building's entrance. ( But I don't know if the law applies to cigar smoking and/or pipe smoking. Ha, ha, ha. )
