My Life Without Me (2003): A young woman conceals the fact of her terminal cancer to live her life with a passion she never had before. (7.5)
Director: Isabel Coixet
Writers: Isabel Coixet, Nanci Kincaid (book)
Stars: Sarah Polley, Scott Speedman, Mark Ruffalo
This movie has the same premise as The Bucket List but the story is downright lousy and effing creepy to the point of being selfish and dumb. Yes, many movies before this have explored the concept of someone having a terminal decease and what they'd decide to do with their limited remaining time. The story here is the worst I've seen. The main character is a cheating, selfish and downright stupid person. All I can say is that the writers (of both, of the novel and of the screenplay) have never thought things through about what you'd do if you'd only had a very limited time to live. What the main character does is very selfish and moronic. We are supposed to feel sympathetic and sorry for someone who is dying of cancer, we are supposed to feel empathy towards her, yet what we are presented with is someone who cheats on her trusting husband and leaves her kids alone so she could have a sexual trist with some weirdo. This is effing bullshit. Those who think this is a good romantic movie, please take good a look at what Morgan Freeman's character does when presented with an opportunity in the Bucket List. Now, that's being true to your love at the face of death. That is true love. This story is pure crap! People who wrote this have never experienced a broken heart or someone cheating on them. This movie is a waste of my time. Go eff yourselves writers, producers and the director. Your story has no emotions nor the humor of The Bucket List. My Rating: 4.0
