    • Trivia
      A remake of the same-titled 1976 film.
    • Goofs
      When the doctor is showing an X-ray at the beginning of the scene, she puts the exam backwards, meaning the right side is on the left, thus changing the position of the heart--a mistake any med student would notice. She also says that there are several lesions in the chest, whereas the X-ray appears to be normal from the distance the viewer can see. Additionally, an X-ray is not the best exam to identify this kind of cancer; it would usually be a CT scan--an exam available in the time the story is being told.

    Griffin & Phoenix a poignant love story about two people who realize how precious life is.

    Personally, I don't understand why this movie did not make it to the big screen but I was happy to see that they at least got it on cable so that fans could watch it. I felt that Dermot Mulroney and Amanda Peat had great chemistry and both gave exceptional performances. This movie made me cry, laugh and reflect on just how important relationships are. Normally, I don't care for remakes but I felt Ed Stone did a great job with this movie. I hope that they release it on DVD so that people who do not have cable are able to enjoy Mulroney and Peat's heart-felt performances. I would definitely purchase Griffin & Phoenix. Keep a box of Kleenex on hand, you'll need it!
