This is going to be a very personal review. I knew this movie would be hard to watch, as I had an uncle who passed away of leukemia in 2013. I knew this movie would tug at my heratstrings. I was able to make it through the film without crying...until the last 10 minutes or so. When Zach starts being unable to finish his performance at his prom, and the audience of his friends, family, and complete strangers finish the song for him....that was the moment I started bawling. Absolutely beautiful. I cried even harder when I learned Zach passed away around a month before my uncle. My uncle was in his mid 20s when he passed, so they were around the same age. I volunteered in a cancer ward at my local hospital for 2 years as part of my mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, (the "Mormons".) I have a few medical conditions myself. Heart murmer, COPD, skeletal issues and a few learning disabilities that make me look and act younger than I am. I love stories of people with similar struggles, and this was one of them. I'm taking a star off for an unnecessary sex scene. There is NEVER a reason to have a sex scene in ANY movie.
