Amazon.com: Is it ever too late to have a last chance at love? The heartwarming answer of Griffin & Phoenix is, thankfully, no. This sweet little film has a big heart, and carries itself with grace and class, despite its tough subject matter. And that's due largely to the moving performances by the two leads, and the deft direction of Ed Stone, who's never heavy-handed. Griffin (Dermot Mulroney) learns in the film's opening scene that he has inoperable cancer and not long to live. A workaholic, Griffin screeches in his tracks at the news, and at reconsidering the priorities he thought ruled his life. By chance he runs into Phoenix (Amanda Peet), a will o' the wisp free spirit who has hidden issues of her own. But sometimes chemistry has a mind of its own, and the two are drawn together in ways both warm and sad. (Have a hankie or two handy.) Despite the subject matter, the film never loses the ordinary absurdities of life. "You can't save my life," says a quiet Griffin to his doctor in the early scene. "Can you validate my parking?" It's this embrace of humor and pathos that makes Griffin & Phoenix so memorable as a film--and as a mirror of life. --A.T. Hurley

Great actors but bad movie script. Why would they agree to do this depressing film.

Wow. This movie will let the tears fall! But Sometimes that's all we really need. When I look for a movie I want to be moved. Cry. Laugh. I want to be entertained. This movie is all about doing what you always wanted to do. No boundaries. What would you do if you only had a small time to live. AND no I didn't give anything away you know that in the 1st 3 mins. Get this movie I have not cried and laughed this much at the same time in a long time. AND it's funny. Dermot Mulroney is funny. And Amanda ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing love story...
This movie is an inspiring and moving tale of what can happen when two people truly open their hearts and allow themselves to love freely. Despite their personal circumstances they follow their desires (reluctantly at first) without compromising who they are. It is a lesson on how to truly love another for everyone who watches it - and especially if you are a man - take note of what Griffin does to win and keep the heart of Phoenix - your woman will love you for it!

I thought that this movie was one of the saddest romantic movie that I have seen in a long time. I could not even hold back my tears it was well written and I thought that the ending was written perfectly. The on compliant I do have is that is said comedy and that was the reason I got the movie I do admit there was a couple of funny things but this is no comedy it is a story of life, love and death. I am not disappointed in this movie and I have already told a number of people to watch it. I think this ... Read More
