Now Is Good (2012)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Best movie of this year hands down!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

While this movie was interesting to watch the whole plot was predictable and had a lack of twists. The only thing I would say I enjoyed about the film was that it followed a similar path of Fault In Our Stars. Aside from the lack of twists, the movie had little pull to keep you interest through the film. If watching this kind of film is something you are into then go for it, but if you'd like something that takes you to a path you didn't expect then don't watch this. No plot twists, not deviation to somewhere you didn't expect, and there will be no epic romance. I would go for Fault In Our Stars any day over this movie.

This movie is another great movie that teach us a lot, a lot about people that have incurable diseases and that are fighting for life through each and every day. It teaches us the importance of not making them be different because they are ill. They have to be treated like us, like normal people having their own basic life every day. It is very important for someone to feel she can do anything and it's really comforting too. All of those people that are sick are the true heroes nowadays we can learn so much from them and from their strength and how they fight for life while a lot of us just go and waste it nor complaining day after day. They don't need us to remind them they are sick they know it, we just have to help'em when the time comes. This movie is so about all of this not losing time, not wasting time and all of those stuff I talked about. After losing my mom from cancer I know the feeling this movie along with another one called "The fault in our stars" are really one of the best movie I've ever seen. 10/10 too bad I can't give a better rating than that.Enjoy watching it.

Tessa Scott (Dakota Fanning) is dying of leukemia. She has a to-do list before dying, one of which is to lose her virginity. Her father (Paddy Considine) is unable to give up even though she has stopped all treatment. Her mother (Olivia Williams) can't deal with her impending death to the point of avoiding her daughter. Her irresponsible friend Zoey (Kaya Scodelario) is a little too eager to party and help her do the list. New neighbor boy Adam (Jeremy Irvine) falls for her but has secrets of his own.Director Ol Parker has written a simple tear jerker. Luckily, it's not going to be such an easy contrite premise. There are a few traditional sad moments. The romance is there. We have the inappropriate friend. The parents can't deal. The only thing isn't there is any big jokes. Dakota Fanning is doing a British accent, and I don't know if she's any good. All I can say is her acting is subdued but it's all there.

First of all, don't worry, I won't spoil anything about this film because I'm too lazy to summarise the plot since it has been already summarised by many other reviewers. I have read the book and watched this film twice, and here is my final review on this film: - very well abridged and modified. - very well acted by all actors, especially by Dakota Fanning. I am not British but I am quite familiar with some British accents by watching many British TV series and listening to British youtubers. And as far as I can say, Dakota's British accent seems to be quite flawless. Of course, if you're British, you are welcome to disagree with me.The only minus point: I am still wondering if Olivia's blonde wig was necessary. Or maybe she should have dyed her hair to make it look more natural. But even if those two actors (Olivia and Dakota) had kept their natural hair colours, the film would still have worked because the script was perfectly written.
