The warmth and touching tenderness of All My Life melts even the coldest of hearts in its quest to deliver happy and sad tears.
It’s a drama rather than a comedy, so call it a rom-dram – and if that phrase seems slightly dismissive, it’s appropriate for a movie that plays up the sentimentality and never escapes the feeling that it’s a light look at a heavy subject.

An amazing romantic true story movie with some great talent from the cast and director.
Report
This movie was so heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time! It had me ugly crying throughout the movie. The acting was great and the fact that it was based on a true story was incredible. I loved the fresh representation in a movie like this and Harry Shum was a great pick for this. They had amazing chemistry. It’s not often you see sexy male Asian American leads and we’re starving for more flicks like this! Highly recommend!!

Bolstered by the sweet chemistry of its attractive leads, All My Life doesn't listen to its central message: Make the most of the time you have.
Rothe and Shum Jr. have such nice, authentic chemistry that they should put it to good use again. Perhaps there’s a jaunty rom-com out there with their names on it.
Everything about this couple, from the way they pair up to the ways their romance plays out, feels scripted and inorganic, people “acting” like they’re soul mates because that’s in the job description. They know it, and we know it from watching them.
Somehow All My Life seems oddly lacking in stakes, which is so weird considering the story (the main symptoms of onscreen Chau’s deadly but photogenic disease seem to be a little tiredness and sweatiness).
All My Life is too passionless to earn even a begrudged sniffle. It’s all paint-by-numbers, from the requisite “screaming inside a car” shot expressing a character’s frustrations to the store-bought spontaneity of a couple jumping into a fountain fully clothed.
2020 has brought us many things film wise. It hasn't been the greatest year and there's really no need to rush out to the theaters for this. But the film is a reminder of a simpler time when entertaining three hankie romantic dramas such as this would crowd multiplexes. Conceptually it's pretty generic and all the cliches are in place but the attractive and talented stars make it worth the watch. Jessica Rothe of Happy Death Day and Harry Shum Jr. Of Glee have awesome chemistry. The film tells the true story of a couple who are about to get married when they discover one of them has cancer. The movie is funny, moving and sad and as an added bonus at the end we meet the real couple. Sure I wished for just a bit more originality but was happy with this endearing little gem.
***.5/5

They’re great and the movie itself is fine, it’s just pretty bland and overtly simplistic

Cancer movie with the Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger". I'd have chosen "Wonderwall".
