About the Film:

Winner of the 2015 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is the story of Greg Gaines (Thomas Mann), an awkward high school senior whose mom forces him to spend time with Rachel - a girl in his class (Olivia Cooke) with whom he hasn't spoken to since kindergarten - who was just diagnosed with cancer.(Rotten Tomatoes)

My Thoughts:

It is very rare than I can sum up my thoughts or views on a movie in one word. Having said that, I can simply say that Me, Earl and the Dying Girl was a SPECTACULAR film. In every sense of the word, this movie was spectacular. There is just no better way to describe it! The casting was an epic win! I am a huge fan of Olivia Cooke(I adore her character on Bates Motel) and then throw in Thomas Mann, Molly Shannon, Nick Offerman and Connie Britton...Winning! 

I hate to admit this, but I have yet to read this book; They always say the book is better so if that stands true in this case, then I seriously need to get on that, pronto! I can't imagine this story being any better.

When I received this film for review, it should have come with a warning: May induce a serious case of 'The Feels'!

I was an emotional roller-coaster during this movie. Laughing, crying, more laughing, more crying and then crying while laughing. It was never-ending! The cast put on such a beautiful display. They should all be nominated for Oscars...And no, I am not embellishing. They all deserve to be recognized for their amazing performances!

If you are looking for that perfect film that will make you feel, think and laugh then Me, Earl and the Dying Girl is for you!
