Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend if you're not bummed out by cancer stories. Honestly, all I needed was Brittany Snow to watch this, and she handles the role masterfully, elevating it past being a slutty hot girl and really showing the emotions and the damage her character has installed. Sam Richardson and Anna Akana were a delightful surprise, and were characters worthy of their own movie, potentially the one leading to their break up before this movie, or even a high school movie where they first got together. Richardson really gets the same expression as Snow out of his character, as both are filled with this damage, desire to heal and a full tank of emotions. I get that some people think we have enough cancer stories in the movies as it is and don't want another one, but this really feels like more than just a cancer story: it's a non-traditional romantic dramedy with elements of cancer. I think it is well worth the watch: it is substance meets sexual humor.

Whether or not I liked this movie, is still undecided. There's just not much to write home about, you know? It was okay. I had to pause on the first scene. It's a predictable drama even if the premise of each character is interesting, it's funny but it wanes the further into it you get, they're likable but not lovable. It sits in the middle of everything, mid if you will. Overall, despite the gravity of the subject matters, it lacks depth. Moreover, the title, the poster. the tagline, none of it feels cohesive with the tone of the movie. Admittedly, I would only ever watch this for Brittany Snow; and this is not a highlight in her career, yet, it's oddly fitting for her. The character, I mean. Addiction, mother-daughter issues, rock bottoms, realizations... Is this Parachute? (No offense). Jordana Brewster being here was awesome, haven't seen a lot of her filmography but I can confidently say D.E.B.S. (2004) remains at the top. Why did they have Alexis fucking G. Zall be the girl from The Fault In Our Stars...? Random, and I chucked, but nonsensical?
