The warmth and touching tenderness of All My Life melts even the coldest of hearts in its quest to deliver happy and sad tears. Read full review

Steve Pond

It’s a drama rather than a comedy, so call it a rom-dram – and if that phrase seems slightly dismissive, it’s appropriate for a movie that plays up the sentimentality and never escapes the feeling that it’s a light look at a heavy subject. Read full review

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. Read full review

Rothe and Shum Jr. have such nice, authentic chemistry that they should put it to good use again. Perhaps there’s a jaunty rom-com out there with their names on it. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Dec 4, 2020

Everything about this couple, from the way they pair up to the ways their romance plays out, feels scripted and inorganic, people “acting” like they’re soul mates because that’s in the job description. They know it, and we know it from watching them. Read full review

The Film Stage John Fink

Dec 6, 2020

All My Life recalls the formula employed by Hallmark Originals, which have predictable beats, lack nuance, and are a kind of cinematic comfort food––this is the cinematic equivalent of drinking your Carmel Frap while crying your eyes out to the new Hasley album. Read full review

Carlos Aguilar

Dec 3, 2020

All My Life is too passionless to earn even a begrudged sniffle. It’s all paint-by-numbers, from the requisite “screaming inside a car” shot expressing a character’s frustrations to the store-bought spontaneity of a couple jumping into a fountain fully clothed. Read full review

This movie was so heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time! It had me ugly crying throughout the movie. The acting was great and the fact that it was based on a true story was incredible.

It’s not often you see sexy male Asian American leads and we’re starving for more flicks like this! Highly recommend!!… Expand

It hasn't been the greatest year and there's really no need to rush out to the theaters for this. But the film is a reminder of a simpler time when entertaining three hankie romantic dramas such as this would crowd multiplexes. Conceptually it's pretty generic and all the cliches are in place but the attractive and talented stars make it worth the watch. Jessica Rothe of Happy Death Day and Harry Shum Jr. Of Glee have awesome chemistry. The film tells the true story of a couple who are about to get married when they discover one of them has cancer. The movie is funny, moving and sad and as an added bonus at the end we meet the real couple. Sure I wished for just a bit more originality but was happy with this endearing little gem.

They’re great and the movie itself is fine, it’s just pretty bland and overtly simplistic

There is very good chemistry between the leads, but that's basically it.
Its sentimentality is as cheap as its budget.

Cancer movie with the Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger". I'd have chosen "Wonderwall".
