Plot:
His senior year in high school, a normally neutrally recluse Greg (Mann) just wants to finish strong and prepare for college. To pass his time he along with his only friend that he calls his co-worker Earl (Cyler) like to remake and re-title classical old films with their quirky and geeky touch. Learning that a fellow student Rachel (Cooke) has been diagnosed with cancer he is forced to visit her by his mother. While on his reluctant visit he realizes that she is a cool person and it is not long before they become friends causing him and Earl to work on a film project that will document her journey while dealing with the terminally ill disease.
Reel Talk:
I am a sentimentalist when it comes to these types of movies regarding people with any type of cancer, having lost my mother to lung cancer. Even though this is a low budgeted movie it has a big message regarding the disease and friendship and how it is truly difficult for everyone involved to deal and cope with the fact that someone you care about is on the verge of dying and the effect that it has on them. This movie is another example that you should give a person their flowers while they are alive instead of when they die. Very good movie that I highly recommend you check it out and support it.
