This was a great film to go into only knowing a brief synopsis of (young couple's infant child is diagnosed with cancer), considering how much it eschews terminal-illness-weepie cliche. It's definitely flawed, and off-puttingly precious in places - but I'll probably remember it longer than more 'successful' films this year, and I can see it winning fans around here. Hence the thread.

It's an easy movie to fall for, for sure, and it's on Netflix Instant now. For every too-cute thing that doesn't work, something like the taxi duet rolls around and makes you forget it

I'm afraid he'll go blind, deaf, dumb, a dwarf, queer, black and a right-wing nutcase
