Just like the memoir this is based on, the film lets you know right up front that the boyfriend (Ben Aldridge) is going to die. That leaves the rest of the movie to watch their relationship develop.

That leaves the rest of the movie to watch their relationship develop. Jim Parsons plays the other half (and narrates), a mild-mannered writer who ends up with the handsome guy "out of his league." When they're meeting and falling in love, the dialogue and their chemistry keeps it interesting and upbeat. Needless to say, when the illness starts, things get heavy. Surprisingly, even with a touching final scene, the emotional impact was not hankie-worthy. The premise is very Hallmark and the result pretty much stays in that mold without much to make it memorable. NOTE: Stay thru the early credits for a short video of the real guy.… Expand

It's so authentic, and heartbreaking but funny and heartwarming. Besides an incredible cast, the character of Michael (I am a big fan of Ausiello as well) felt so awkwardly close to what many people are, complex, difficult and charming. A piece of queer cinema that I won't forget!… Expand

However, the big problem is that this film tackles a dramatic side that clouds the connection and relationship of Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge's characters, which is basically the driving force of this story.
Had this been a full-on comedy, it would have been great to see their interactions vary, but being a drama where one is dealing with an illness, there are only so many places the two of them can explore.

Nonetheless, I found Spoiler Alert to be a pretty effective film, even if its proposed plot has been seen several times before.… Expand

Good movie about the ups and downs of a relationship over the years. There is an ebb and flow to the interactions between a couple over the years when you are together 24/7, and this movie captures that.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was a sincere romance film that was also incredibly funny, with humour interspersed even throughout the excruciatingly sad portions.

It was a sincere romance film that was also incredibly funny, with humour interspersed even throughout the excruciatingly sad portions. Ben Aldridge delivered an outstanding performance the entire time, flawlessly showcasing his range. This story was all the more intriguing because it was based on a book, and the actors remark that they drew heavily from Kit Cowan's artefacts and the original source material. When I watched this movie, I both laughed and cried. Although nothing shone out in a particularly remarkable way, it was still one of the better vacation romance films.… Expand
