I am not recommending this movie but just in case you want to see it you have been warned:)Andrew and I rented this movie Griffin & Phoenix last night. See the front cover " A store about life and love." Oh how sweet lets totally rent this movie! Just in case I check the back cover: When his life takes an unexpected turn, workaholic divorce' Griffin decides to focus on the good, instead of the bad, and plans to enjoy his time to the fullest. ( I suppose that was a bit of foreshadowing I could have played closer attention to). Soon he meets Phoenix a beautiful loner who appears determined to avoid relationships and fun at any cost. But the chemistry between Griffin and Phoenix is undeniable and when the two discover they share the same secret, they find not only comfort in each other's arms, but also unexpected happiness in every moment they spend together.
Ok so now as I am re-reading this back cover I am noticing a few signs I should have payed closer attention to but nowhere on this movie cover did it mention that his unexpected turn is that he finds out he is dying from cancer in scene one!!! Neither did it mention that we would find out midway through the movie that she is also dying from cancer!!! And she has ovarian cancer and aside from the fact that she would never be able to raise children she can't have children. So the entire movie is about doing things they have always wanted to do like jump a freight train and go para-sailing. Then when they are not in an adventure it is the same sad scene where they love each other but they know they have no chance of a future together. The entire movie I should say is under this blanket of reality that thy are both dying. Needless to say I cried about five times in this movie and Andrew said next time he is picking the movie!
