The most notable part of this movie is Emilia Clarke. It is always fun to watch fine actors in something besides their signature pieces that you knew them from. In the old days, John Wayne was always John Wayne. Here, you can barely recognize Emilia Clarke, a high compliment. She has nothing of the Game of Thrones' Queen. There is nothing of that character's confidence, arrogance and presence. She is wholly transformed. There are many other recognizable faces in the cast for fans of contemporary British acting--like one of Clarke's G.O.T. colleagues, Brenda Coyle from Downtown Abbey and Jenna Coleman from Doctor Who--but only Clarke becomes a completely different person. It is worth watching this just for that transformation. (For most of the movie, she even LOOKS puffier and plainer, not exactly the image presented in G.O.T., whether deliberate or not.) The movie...charming and bouncy at first, with a poignant and increasingly sappy overlay ultimately, is not as interesting as the cast, but it is well worth watching and nicely paced. To be sure, there is a certain inevitability as to where it is going, but for most of the movie the tone is light and it refrains from wallowing in despair. Until it does. Those last 20 minutes are the least successful, unless you just enjoy a good cry.

... View MoreThis film literally just legitimizes euthanasia and is a complete waste of time. One hundred percent predictable plot. No reason to watch.
... View MoreI usually stray away from romances with seemingly heartbreaking endings but after watching Me Before You i was washed over with so many emotions. SPOILER ALERT. When Will decided to die it broke my heart i cried for 5 straight minutes because my hopelessly romantic heart couldn't take it but after seeing Lou seemingly happy in Paris i realized Will left to escape his pain and regardless they still fell in love and cherished their time together. This really is a must see they may not end up married but they still loved each other till Will's end. After i stopped crying i was happy and content with the ending. The movie has wonderful actors, an amazing script, comedy, and romance, everything a movie with such emotions needs. Please check it out it's worth the watch.
