Tuned in to Netflix and watched as this movie came up as new. Well, I wasn't expecting what I saw. Still thinking about it today. What a simple movie. A movie that displays a powerful and passionate relationship between two friends. First, both of these guys were socially out of touch yet found each other. Ray Romano (Andy) gave an incredible heartfelt performance when he finds out his best bud Michael (Mark Duplass) has terminal cancer. The relationship these two have is really unremarkable, yet so very significant. It is truly the simple day to day living that makes life so precious. In the end...it's all about the love. Yep, I needed tissues. Good acting. Darn good movie.

Can't say I "enjoyed" it, but it was a good movie. So simple. I read that they improvised much of the dialog from an outline of the story. Remarkable.

Ray Romano is having a moment, and I'm all for it!

It really emphasizes how very difficult it is for most men to express their emotions, even in difficult times.

Very good movie. I especially liked Ray Romano--I thought he did a terrific job. Very believable.
