A very good movie, far superior to the similar Love Story.

I guess I'm just not in the main stream. How can IMDb readers give Love Story (1970) a composite grade of 6.7 and Dying Young only 5.4. Julie Roberts is much, much better than Ali MacGraw (proof of who is the better actress is that MacGraw went literally nowhere, as she deserved, after Love Story while Roberts is still a star, an Oscar winner and a respected actress). The story line of both is somewhat predictable, but Dying Young has an infinitely better script. In Dying Young the viewer truly empathizes with the characters, while in Love Story, neither character is worth knowing. Only the most sentimental will tear up in Love Story, while Dying Young bring most to tears. While this does not mean that it is a great movie, it does mean that the characters are believable and well acted and the story line is good enough to overcome its somewhat predictable premise. Curl up with a loved one and a box of tissues. If you are at all the least bit sensitive you will like Dying Young.

All heil Joel Schumacher.

No, not really. Of course I'm joking. I'd rather be buried alive.

To be fair, Schumacher has made some good films - "Falling Down" is great fun by any standards - but his bad far outweighs the few good projects he's worked on. His influence on a film is instantly recognizable.

"Dying Young" is one of Schumacher's sappy flicks, about a woman (Julia Roberts) who decides to nurse a dying man (Campbell Scott) who has blood cancer. Typical story - hatred for each other at first followed shortly by a deep romance, which ends in...well...I guess I shouldn't ruin it.

The movie is hokey and artificial - it struck me as one of those Hallmark Channel specials you would see on daytime television. If not for the cast it could easily be found in such a slot.

It's a curiosity simply because Schumacher fans - as in, the kind that love to hate him - may find it interesting to see him attempt a romantic weeper.

Julia Roberts Elevates This Film

Dying Young is a romance film that is based on a novel of the same title by Marti Leimbach.It stars Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott together with Vincent D'Onofrio, Colleen Dewhurst and Ellen Burstyn.It was directed by Joel Schumacher.

When Victor Geddes discovers that he is suffering from leukemia, his wealthy family hires pretty, young Hillary O'Neil to help nurse him through his chemotherapy treatment. As the two struggle through the debilitating effects of Victor's treatment, she unexpectedly discovers they have much in common, even though he is wealthy and intelligent. Their growing friendship quietly develops into a deep and powerful romance that ultimately tests the boundaries of true love and attempt to make the most of their time together.

The film presents a beautiful love story between two people one of whom is terminally ill.Although the plot is not original and has been done in many movies before,Julia Roberts provides a great performance to elevate it from being just another mediocre,clichéd and predictable tearjerker.Also,one great thing about the movie is the beautiful cinematography as the location was set on the San Francisco Bay Area.
