Tear Jerker
I wish I had realized how emotional this movie was before I watched it! Very thought provoking.

If it was your daughter, .....
Writers Take a Chance With a Spin and Only Barely Succeed
TV movie, strange rom-com story.
Sick (also literally), controlling lead character
LOVED IT
Yes this was tear jerker, but was also poignant and realistic. I didn't totally agree when he didn't tell his wife, so that it was more of a shock when he did get towards the end. But I can understand his thing, he wanted to make sure she and daughter would be taken care of. and he got to spend quality time with his daughter and wife. Though script was well written and acted. Sad but worth the watch. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/15/2021
She's a human not a car!
I don't know how this was made into a movie or how anyone even watched it. I'd rather sit through Batman Vs Superman again and not watch another minute of this movie.
Like what makes you think your wife would want to get with another guy right away when you die? and is she not capable of picking a man by herself? I'm glad that he loves her so much that he can't trust her to live her own life, and therefore to treat her as an object.
My dog can come up with better ideas for a movie than this. He can actually write a better script too.
I've never written a review before or rated a movie online, but I just wish if I've never came across it and that I can get back the time I've wasted on it. You can watch at your own risk.

Silly premise...
What a Beautiful Movie!
It is hard to comment about this movie without giving away the plot, but this was an incredibly moving story. Scott Wolf's and Courtney Ford's performances were beautiful, raw, and real. Jay Black, as Tom's best friend, pulled off the very difficult role of a comedian within a tragic plot with amazing skill and sensitivity. His character could easily have been portrayed as a two-dimensional buffoon, and spoiled the movie for me. But, he managed to make me laugh and believe his awkward way of showing affection for his buddy and for the girl he liked. The family and friends around the two main characters maintained just the right balance of seriousness and humor to keep the weighty subject matter from getting schmaltzy. The director, Brian Herzlinger, struck just the right tone, and brought out the best in his cast. The only fault I can find in the whole thing is the main character's course of action introduced toward the beginning. Once I hesitantly agreed to suspend my disbelief and go along with it, however, I was richly rewarded with what I think will remain one of my favorite Hallmark movies, ever.
Heart Breaking
My late husband died from brain cancer, we have an only daughter and my current husband's name is Michael. Hits so close to home. Those that were complaining about him trying to find her husband, remember it's just a movie, and to those of us that have gone through this know that when somebody has brain cancer they're not in their right mind. It was the caring part of him that was thinking of his wife and daughter any other thought of him being controlling, you really should rewatch this movie. Cried through most of it. Great movie.

nothing new
except, maybe, the relation between Tom Bishop and his wife. who seems be ...strange for a young couple. the care for the partner after your death is not new idea in cinematography but it needs a subtle, delicate manner to show it. in this case, the problem is the not credible way to present this noble feeling. Courtney Ford gives a so cold character than the temptation of the scriptwriter seems be to transform her in a statue. Scott Wolf did a decent job, but his character is real uncomfortable because nothing seems credible. something essential missing in this film. sure, no surprise , but the premises are too good for a solution who seems be an improvisation result.for a touching story, without many explanations and for the fans of sentimentalș dramas in sauce of lovely end, it is a good choice.
