Directed by Gus Van Sant

IMDB

A teen boy whose parents just passed away in an auto accident meets a teen girl dying of cancer at a memorial service for a friend of the girl.  They begin dating.  Also, the boy sees a ghost of a WWII Japanese pilot.
A very quirky, but sweet film.  The boy character is pretty angsty and obnoxious, but the girl is very likable.  Gus Van Sant made a good film, in my opinion.  A quirky romance movie along the lines of “Harold & Maude,” though obviously not as good or funny.


7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
