This is one of the most endearing, heartfelt, human stories I have ever enjoyed watching. No matter how long we live, life is too short. This movie is just beautiful with an amazing cast that are performing at the top of their game. Keaton is convincing in his portrayal of Robert Jones an ad exec coping with unresolved issues in the last year of his life as his supportive wife played with such class by Nicole Kidman is preparing to give birth to their first child. Make sure you have tissues nearby because you're going to need them.

You'll need a lot of kleenex for this film about a man dying but video taping his last days as messages to his wife and new baby.

Could be Keaton's best performance. This film has heart and makes you confront unresolved issues in your own life as you see Keaton's character grapple with the collision of one of the happiest things (birth of first child) and saddest things (cancer) that can happen with other underlying family issues complicating things. And yet it is a story of hope as it shows how choices, even hard ones, are the key.
