Which reminded me that Stone hasn't been in a good film since 2010's Easy A. That's a lot of teflon.

"A-"?? My god, this must be awful!

"No stranger to making futile appeals for decency from those who have no sense of it, Louis C.K. is…"

You have to go back to Adventures in Babysitting, but yeah, I think he was. He played a little kid's fantasy of Thor, fwiw.

The way he's going, too, he may be able to play the role without makeup.

Yup. Incredibly naturalistic. I assume her being amazingly good looking even without makeup may hinder her indy career. Her choice of projects, too, seems designed to destroy any chance of her having a significant career.

Skip the padded credits and it barely cracks 75 minutes. Up top I conjecture they ran out of money or just screwed the pooch with the last third and decided to junk that whole section.

Thirty minutes into the movie and it's sooooooooooo cute I want to barf all over my birkenstocks. So, no, there's not an honest moment in the first third of the film and I'm not giving these cynical pricks another minute of my time.

That's nice, but it's usually the case that when you're out of chances you're too sick to do anything.

It was a respectably decent first half of a movie. So there's that.

I'm just going to assume that link will show me how to make $78 an hour on the internet in my spare time.

Who knew cancer could be so darned CUTE!

At 76 minutes from title to the start of padded end credits this has the earmarks of a film that went disastrously wrong while shooting the last third, so they decided to junk it. Kate's speech at her one year sobriety party refers to things that we haven’t really seen or have not seen at all, as does "Bear Wrangler",…

I'm assuming you're under 70, and if you think drinking to excess or drinking as the all purpose lubricant in social situations is a relatively recent phenomenon, any useful history of alcohol in the 20th century should set you straight. Or Cheever's short stories. Or any episode of Mad Men.

Terrific first half, then the script played it incredibly safe, with the alcoholic, uncaring dad; the traumatic accident; the uplifting, voiceover essay… bleh.

Even so it was easy to see the movie was going to be rearended by the cliche 18 wheeler once Aimee got whacked by a car.
