All My Life – Liebe, als gäbe es kein Morgen (2020)

All My Life – Liebe, als gäbe es kein Morgen: Directed by Marc Meyers. With Jessica Rothe, Harry Shum Jr., Marielle Scott, Chrissie Fit. A couple’s wedding plans are thrown off course when the groom is diagnosed with liver cancer.

“A soon to be released romantic melodrama of a doomed romance which still manages to be uplifting u0026amp; soul stirring (u0026amp; based on a true story by the by!). Starring Jessica Rothe (from the Happy Death Day films) u0026amp; Harry Shum (from Glee) as a couple that meet cute during college (he works as a software writer but wants to be a chef which she sees right away u0026amp; pushes him towards that goal) u0026amp; soon move in together w/a healthy bevy of friends who support them. The wrinkle in the universe comes about in the form of cancer which is caught early (Shum gets a piece of his liver removed) but no sooner does the story progress, his cancer soon becomes the fatal kind spurring the couple u0026amp; their orbit of friends to come together to plan u0026amp; execute a wedding before the inevitable happens. Never bringing up the fact theyu0026#39;re a mixed race couple is hopefully refreshing (they are a couple that just exists) is a major plus for a film that is entertaining (cue the musical montages) but on such auto-pilot it could be on rails w/a bevy of colorful supporting players like Molly Hagen (from Some Kind of Wonderful) as Rotheu0026#39;s mother, Jay Pharaoh (from SNL) as one Shumu0026#39;s friends, Chrissie Fit (Pitch Perfect 2 u0026amp; 3) as one Rotheu0026#39;s friends, Ever Carradine (Robertu0026#39;s daughter) as Shumu0026#39;s boss at an eatery, Keala Settle (from The Greatest Showman) as a coffee shop employee u0026amp; Mario Cantone (from Sex u0026amp; the City) as a wedding organizer. Kudos to both Rothe u0026amp; Shum for elevating the material u0026amp; especially Rothe for acting outside her comfort bubble (coupled w/the Valley Girl remake from earlier this year) to show she has the acting chops to back up her good looks.”
