An extremely moving film of a most unlikely romance. Bring your tissues as you will have need of them. A real screen gem that will appeal to hopeless romantics, underachievers, the hopeless. See The Theory of Flight for an extraordanary human though improbable adventure. Still, thumbs up by me.

This leads him to meeting a young woman, who is dying of motor neuron disease. Her one hope is to have a love affair which our dreamer feels he cannot provide yet can he?

It was about as inoffensive as such a premise could be. HBC & KB made it watchable, but just barely.
