The critics all panned this and now I can see why. Should've read the critic's reviews BEFOREHAND so I wouldn't have wasted my time watching this on prime.
What really irks me is that lots of people live with these diseases, and they tend to do it with a lot more grace than this movie possesses. This film trivializes and makes a mockery of these afflictions. It's simply lazy writing and lack of research. The characters in this are completely defined by their respective challenges. Not one of them seem to have a personality. They just have illness. And that completely rings false. And the person who directed this clearly didn't have the slightest notion of what they were doing. I wonder if Kyra Sedgewick realized what she was signing up for. A shame.
