This movie was quite wonderful in it's very simple message- Enjoy Life! This was really some of Bill Nighy's best work. Don't get me wrong he was fantastic in P.O.T.C. but there was such a depth to his acting in this. Some people said it was boring & if that was the message they received from watching this then they didn't get the point at all. Movies can truly be enjoyed on a more human and cerebral level. Speaking as a person who suffers from a painful long term illness I can absolutely grasp the moment Mr. Nighy's character realizes he missed out on so much of life and living. Well done Bill well done.
