At the time of this movies release, Julie Roberts was flying high thanks to "Steel Magnolias" in 1989 and the mega hit "Pretty Woman" in 1990. Sadly dying Young misses the mark by a long way.
Plot in A Paragraph: Hilary O'Neil (Julia Roberts) has little luck in work or love. After recently Leaving her boyfriend when she caught him cheating, Hilary finds herself living with her eccentric mother (Ellen Burstyn). One day, Hilary answers an ad in a newspaper for a nurse to Victor Geddes (Campbell Scott) a well-educated, rich, and shy 28 year-old who is dying due to leukemia. Despite his father's protests, Victor hires Hilary to be his live-in caretaker while he undergoes a traumatic course of chemotherapy.
This movie is a dull and dreary affair that attempts to manipulate the viewers emotions at every turn. The direction is awkward, and it's easy to see why director by Joel Schumacher did not make any more movies like this.
If you like Roberts, watch it once, and make up your own mind.
