The description of the movie was bland enough, what it didn't mention was the storyline of a young girl dying of leukemia or that James Garner's character is still reeling from the loss of his adult son years before....they really need to mention these kinds of things. It was a great movie but not what I was expecting or prepared for. It's surprising how easily the tears can come now. I was never much of a 'cryer' before but now, just the littlest things will start it all.
At one point in the movie, the main male character asks the little girl who is dying "If you could wish for anything, anything in the world, what would it be?"
"I dream of having the perfect day......and I'm just finishing it." is her reply.
I hope somewhere along Ian's short life, he had the perfect day. I know it would have included his friends and some food he loved....I just hope somewhere in that day, I was a small part of it.
