Courteney Cox Owes The World An Apology For Her Directorial Debut Just Before I Go

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Anchored by a nicely understated performance by Seann William Scott, "Just Before I Go" effectively juggles a wealth of genuine, at times profound, emotion with quite a bit of nutty-raunchy humor.

New York Times

Lurches along a wobbly line between salacious comic nastiness and nauseating sentimentality.

At times, it's hilarious, but the tone changes so much that it becomes hard to keep up.

Cox must have seen something in this screenplay that encouraged her to film it, but whatever that critical element was, it's not apparent in the finished product.

Just Before I Go broke my heart and soothed it. If you don't embrace this film, you haven't been there. Watch it. Cry a little. Be grateful for every reason you find to stick around.

The acting and story are good. The delivery wasn't the best, but everybody trashing it, come on, how can you not relate to it?

It doesn’t know if it wants to be a heartbreaking drama or goofy comedy and comes off as a bit lopsided

This movie is very underrated. It was a wonderful look at all the different ways lives can be complicated, screwed up and complex beneath veneers of normalcy. It gave lots of lighthearted examples of how life is never as straight forward as it looks. And finally, it showed how that's okay. It was just the right touch of comedy in a genuinely heartfelt movie. Sean William Scott is a better actor than people give him credit for. It was great getting to see him in a non-typecast role.

Ignore the naysayers because this is a good film , a great film. It captures the feelings of a specific type of person in every character. Not everyone will be able to relate to the characters or even a character but that's OK , not every story is for every person . Every time I've watched this film I've totally related to Sean William Scott's character & the whole concept as I see it & that is that most people's lives aren't as they imagined they'd be .... everyone's got some crazy going on , some disaster, pitfall , loneliness or a weird kick . Sean needs casting in more movies , he does a great job in every role he takes on. Thanks Courtney Cox for making this 🙂 .
