This is a very FUNNY, ENTERTAINING and very amusing movie. The cast work well together and they seem to have had fun making it. Even though Julia Roberts is funny in it, it isn't one of her bests. I think My Friend's Wedding is Julia's best comedy to date but this one doesn't fall far behind, Catherine Zeta-Jones plays her part well, As so does the movie scene stealer Hank Azaria. Billy Crystal is funny and had the best lines in the movie.(that is because he wrote the script). What I am saying, if you want to have fun, go see this movie!

Dying Young
(1991)
Moving, Realistic, and well acted!
19 April 2000
As someone who has seen this movie numerous times, I can honestly say that this movie isn't for those people that are looking for a "Happily ever after". This movie is as realistic as a movie about such a subject(Cancer) can be. But the best thing about this movie is the relationship that the characters have. The actors, Julia Roberts as the hired nurse and Campbell Scott as the very sick young man are excellent and believable in their rolls. If anything this movie brings out the fact that he has a short time to live, how he chooses to live his life is what this movie is about. The story ends in a way which WE the viewer choose the path we want to see it. If you want a happy ending you can say that they left together and he was cured, BUT if you are realistic and are aware of how many lives cancer takes you know that they had their time together and eventually he dies. "You don't know when you are going to die, nobody does. But we have now, so live with me Victor. Live with me--Hillary(Julia Roberts). Those words are the basis of this story, to live the time you have, live for the day. I have recommended this movie to many of my friends and I am doing so here and now. A must see.
