A film to make you smile.
6 October 2015
This is the story of Greg who spends his spare time avoiding trouble at school and making film parodies with his unlikely friend Earl. One day his mother asks him to visit Rachel , a girl who he has hardly anything to do with but has just been diagnosed with Leukemia. Now the premise of this film may sound a little depressing but it totally isn't . It's also not a romantic story in any way. This is a funny , extremely well written comedy that just makes you smile. Thomas Mann is excellent as Gregg as is RJ Cyler as Earl and these two make the film what it is. Their movie parodies titles are very funny i only wish we got to watch some of them ! . If i had to be slightly critical it would be that the last half an hour of the film doesn't live up to the rest of it but all in all i found myself smiling through out most of this.
