Director Gus Van Sant delivered his worst film in a decade with this pretentious yarn about love and death. A teenage boy obsessed with funerals falls in love with a terminally ill teenage girl. The poorly written script seems contrived in every aspect that even an usually solid director like Van Sant couldn't save despite a talented cast and crew. The story and characters lack sincerity touching on profound themes as plot devises for the sake of love story that leaves a bitter after taste. The cast includes Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper in the leads. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
