A great little film that speaks to those of us who have been told that you might not survive.
It is full of dark humour and crazy situations as the two guys go on a quest to go out with a bang (quite literally). It captures the mood as the most important things in life are brought into sharp relief (the relationships that you have with others, the desire to have sex is linked to this) and other things that people think are important fade into the background (money begins to lose its meaning, the stealing of the ambulance). The two girls become exactly what they want and need, caring, sympathetic and willing to accept the fact that they do not have any time left.
The film is not perfect, the women's roles are a little underwritten and some of the supporting cast are weak. In addition there are one or two poor edits and some contrived scenes but these are easily forgotten.
The film is about grabbing life by the scruff of the neck and finding what is important. It is about finding those who you truly care for and care for you.
Finally it is about not accepting your fate, but kick and scream to stay alive even when there does not seem to be any reason to go on.
