Blind to the fact that it should be rising up against its own formulaic kind.

Parise no doubt intends the pic's attention to the disease -- plus animal adoption and fair trade coffee -- to be socially enlightening, but it feels suspiciously like sympathy-mongering.

...ultimately establishes itself as an affable endeavor that benefits substantially from the charismatic work of its two leads.

1/5

Achieves the holy trinity of painful earnestness, combining cute animals, sick teenagers and an idealistic belief in love and goodness that's actually deceptively judgmental.

2/5

Written, directed, acted-in and produced by Parise, she's proven her creds as a one-woman employment agent. But, by now, she should be picking up that directing is a weak spot.

More farce might have served the film well; as Parise draws from a playbook of medical melodrama and romantic-comedies clichs, her moral about living outside the box becomes harder and harder to swallow.

I have never seen this movie, but because it contains the words Jack and Jill in it, I hate it. H. A. T. E. It. Destroy it. Now!

The charismatic chemistry of the two leads is what holds this film together, a good message, but its been done before and loses the entertainment value along the way. However you can't help connect to the two leads and wish them the best in their pursuits.

It's okay. A bit boring. But, you know, sometimes fun is overrated. :)

The two main characters didn't have no chemistry at all. Freddie Prinze Jr. looked good as usual. His love interest was hiddeous.
