I firsts saw the movie on TV and knew there were scenes left out or edited, so when I purchased it, I had more honest feel of the characters. I did enjoy seeing their individual complexities striving to do what's in their own interest but finally coming together.

Needed more development of Maggie's other relationships. Why was she with her first boyfriend (the top gun pharma sales rep.) and why did she dump him or did he dump her. Was it because of her illness? Yet he still seemed very protective of her.

I'm not especially fond of Jake Gyllenhaal although he does well in this movie. The characters are easy to care about and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. Although there are very sad moments there are also plenty of laughs to be had.

This movie is extremely funny and serious at the same time. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it but It also had a great plot. I recommend this movie to anyone, it is a must watch.

I loved this movie. It had me laughing, and crying, and it was sexy, and poignant, and very, very well acted. Jake and Anne are wonderful together. Very believeable. I could have done with a little less of the "brother" character, played by Josh Gad, and I wish Jake had more scenes with Hank Azaria and Oliver Platt, but I really did love it. When it ended, I just wanted to go right back to the beginning again!
