5.0 out of 5 stars Motivates you to re-align priorities, January 1, 2008

By	John Chang "JC" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well put-together and though-provoking. Every scene confronts the family with decisions that challenge their perspective--as well as the viewer's--about what comes first in life. Even the seemingly mundane daily tasks resonates with significance when it may be one of the last time you get to share that experience with the afflicted family member. How many of us could be jolted from the incessant "work-only" mentality that this society place on us to lift our hands off the keyboard and spend a quiet afternoon with someone--even if they were not in imminent danger of a life-terminating disease--just because it is the more important thing to do? This is a heart-warming movie that the audience--whether they have any member of their family with a life-threatening affliction or not--will gain a lot of perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelieveable, December 22, 2007

By	J. Hess (Ft. Lauderdale, fl United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lou Gehrig died in 1942. So little change, so much misery. This film puts the problem in focus yet how valuable human life can be, even with such a horrible, debilatating disease can be. I hope it helps to shame drug companies to finally mobilize on this disease and for the public to demand it. Obviously, the public opening their wallets will help too.
