Despite offering a well-timed look at the realities of the disease, the movie clunkily eschews cinematic creativity for emotional manipulation. Inquisitive ice-bucket challengers, consider yourselves warned.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This well-intentioned weepie never quite rises far enough above its movie-of-the week architecture to hit all its intended emotional pressure points.
Despite holes in the storytelling, Ms. Swank and Ms. Rossum keep it real.
Nicholas Sparks didn't write You're Not You, but he might as well have, given its familiar disease-of-the-week plot filled with scenic locations and gorgeous people.
Wolfe overplays his hand at almost every key turn.
