All My Life : Movie Review


"All My Life" is based on the true story of a young couple who were planning their wedding when the groom-to-be was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It does not try to wrestle with existential issues or give more than brief coverage to the physical and emotional ravages of cancer treatment. It has all the gloss of a Pottery Barn catalogue and all the depth of a "hang in there" greeting card, but if you are in the mood for a sad story about very attractive people learning to get the most out of the time they have, it will do.

All My Life (2020) - Movie PosterThe morning after they first meet at a sports bar, Solomon Chau ("Glee's" Harry Shum Jr.) and Jennifer Carter (Jessica Rothe) get together to go for a run because she wanted to see him again even though she hated running. She learns that he's an amateur chef, and asks him to cook for her. "You mean now?" "Now or never."
