Parting Words

This movie shows that great writing surpasses name actors and big budgets. It is very funny and clever. There are 4 main characters. The woman is dying. She has three male best friends who all grew up together. She tells all of them she wants to sleep with them before she dies. The story is about how each of them react to this and how it affects their relationships with each other. I was not a huge fan of the music score but it seems to fit somehow. There is not much plot - it is more of a character study. Think of Diner - lots of great banter and relationships between the characters. The vehicle for the plot is sex but the movie is not really about sex at all. It is about real people and how they deal with loss and friendships. This movie is one of the better unknown films I have seen.
