Dying Young

This movie is a 'sleeper' and not a box office hit, so I nearly did not get it. But I am glad that we saw it! The acting is excellent for the two lead roles: Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott (who played Hamlet and other top notches).

Julia was superb and we admired the fine acting that she did. My wife cried near the end because she herself came very close to dying of cancer (of the liver, was told she had 4 months to live - that was 6 years ago). But it was not a depressing story at all.

This is a quality film. There are no car chases, shoot-outs or cheap sex, just a good solid story by two fine actors. See it.
