Julia Roberts (who used to be known as America's Sweetheart back in the 90s with hit movies such as Pretty Woman,Eat Pray And Love and Mirror Mirror); stars in this A Walk To Remember meets Me Before You styled flick Dying Young opposite Campbell Scott(from The Amazing Spiderman).
Here she plays Hilary O' Neill a young woman who catches her boyfriend having a steamy session with another woman and is left heartbroken. To ease her pain after the breakup, she comes across an ad on a paper where a wealthy man is looking for someone to care for him as he has leukaemia since 10 years and she decides to take the offer. But Victor's father doesn't want her to look after his son as she wasn't a doctor. But the young man named Victor(Scott) saw her and took to her straight away and decides to hold a secret interview down in his room and she gets the job. So Hilary decides to look after him with romance blossoming along the way.
As time goes by Victor starts to get his dark hair back and himself and Hilary go off together and spend the holidays in an old house away in the countryside. But is Victor really better and will Hilary stay by his side when his time is up?
Overall this film was great. The chemistry between the two leads was believable. As mentioned before parts of this reminded me of Me Before You starring Emila Clarke and Sam Clafflin with the set up(expect Me Before You focused more on assistant suicide,whereas Dying Young didn't focus on suicide it focused on cancer)If you are looking for a tearjearker or if your like me a fan of Julia Roberts then check it out.
Overall its a 6 out of 10.
