Synopsis

Critics' reviews
- "Dying Young ultimately succeeds because it embodies that secret hope that most of us so desperately want to believe in: love can conquer all, even death."
- "Will someone please, please, write a part for Julia Roberts and not be happy just to look at her?"
- "This is an upsetting, moving film -- not one for the weak of stomach, mind or heart."
- "A crass crossbreed of Love Story and Pretty Woman."
- "Donate the ticket money you would have spent to medical research, and stay home."
