SPOILER!!!
watched it tonight... i can deffinitely see why some would not like it cause of both the acting AND the grossely inaccurate portrayal of CF in general.
Also, a TON of unanswered questions (i.e. him smoking the whole movie?? the transplant girl just "showing up" at the end like everything was wonderful... for people who don't know anything about CF, wouldn't that be construed as a girl who's super sick waiting on lungs, and within a year or so is well enough to be out on the NY streets chasing down FPJ?)
Strange strange movie, but did make me happy to at least hear cystic fibrosis and her "sort of" explanation of it to her friends. Too bad it seems it went straight to video. Would be amazing someday if an actual academy-award winning movie (with academy-award winning acting) came out to portray CF for all that it is and can be... Similar to the aformentioned "Philedelphia", which though it may not have been totally accurate, did have some very intense and difficult scenes to watch while he and his family/friends dealt with the disease process.
I agree though, sometimes the message is better than having just a really depressing film about CF and sitting through that. Taryn's character (though cheesy), was cute and fun to watch and had a good message, if taken at face value.
