Warning: If you have seen any of the trailers for the film adaptation of the best-selling novel, then not much of the discussion below will be a surprise. If you have not read the book or seen the movie, you may consider some of the below discussion to be “spoilers”, in which case, I encourage you to revisit this post later. Otherwise, please read on.
I was at the box office buying tickets to see this movie with my best friend. Here’s how the exchange went down…
Me: You really should give away boxes of tissues with every ticket.
Cashier: You know, I actually don’t know what this movie is about. I know I should but there are so many movies out.
Me: It’s about this guy who was paralysed after an accident and decides he wants to die.
Cashier: Whoa! How is that a romantic comedy?
Me: Well, there’s this girl who gets hired to be his carer and once she finds out his plans, she is determined to change his mind and a lot of funny things happen in the meantime. But yes, it does also get very sad. I cried buckets when I read the book.
Cashier: Is there a happy ending?
Me: It depends on how you look at it…
