    Really dull about two terminal cancer patients throw caution and bedsheets to the wind and head to Holland for a brief spot of high-living and low-life.

    Another one of those movies that makes me cry - every time, no matter what, like Steel Magnolias.

    This is a real grown up rights of passage film found it by accident . Beautiffuly written and well acted
  • December 13, 2006
    A touching bittersweet comedy drama (and arguably Dalton's finest moment), Roy Clarke's poiniant script is both warm and laugh out loud funny. It's this with the stirring (but never sacchrine) performances of it's two leads that is the film's heart and soul. Cliche is not so much...( read more) avoided as side-stepped and the film extracts it's humour from it's brlliantly acidic one-liners all the way up to it's heartfelt finale. An overlooked gem!
