Where most contemporary directors would be looking for ways to demonstrate their superiority to the material -- dropping in campy asides or meaningless technical flourishes -- Schumacher is looking for ways to make it work.
Donate the ticket money you would have spent to medical research, and stay home.
Yes, it is good to see how much of a difference actors can make with flimsy material, but wouldn't it be nice if they had something with more than the emotional weight of a Twinkie to work on?
The onslaught-of-illness stuff is rendered not with emotion but with makeup and lighting. The actors are reduced to models in a film that tries to sell compassion by the shot.
These people are like an adolescent's idea of adulthood. They're junior high schoolers without zits, emotionally arrested and unaware of it.
Will someone please, please, write a part for Julia Roberts and not be happy just to look at her?
Audience Reviews for Dying Young
She gave him something nobody else could. A reason to live.
Super Reviewer
Nothing groundbreaking but good.
Super Reviewer
Sappy. It's so sappy that it's like the sap that drips onto your car and removes the paint.
