“Life starts now.”
The film takes us into the life of a 30-something business woman who is in the prime of her life. A promotion, physical beauty, wealth and a great group of friends are all there. The only problem? She has terminal cancer. The process of preparing for the inevitable begins and a quest to experience true love with it.
This film is ripe with reasons to avoid it. From inappropriate dialog and drag clubs to recreational sexual activity and extremely inappropriate language. The film carries a lesson, but you need to dive into a pile of fertilizer to grab it.
The spiritual issue that the film is wrestling with is the fear of death. They are trying to represent how scary death can be and how hard it can be to face it. “God” makes an appearance as Whoopi Goldberg throughout the film, but it portrays God as a “wish giver.” As a whole, the culmination of the movie comes down to worldly solutions to face death (wealth, friendships, and romance), rather than turning to God.
Skip it. Please do yourself a favor and pass on this one. This theme of facing death is a common one and can be found in many other films, both Christian and secular. For the momentary shimmers of something of value, this film is not worth sitting through an hour and a half of worldly vices.
