MPAA RATING: PG-13 for sexual content and brief strong language

Starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Taryn Manning, Mark Forster, Vanessa Parise, Kelly Rowan, and Peter Stebbings

Jack is a 30-something advertising exec in New York City who lives a life forged from routine. He is successful, stylish, and entirely bored...until he meets Jill. In her 20s, fiery, and adorable, Jill enters Jack's life like a hurricane. They meet and instantly connect, launching into a romance. Together they write a "Manifesto of Rules to Live By," beginning with "Rule 1 – Be Honest." But after too many instances of Jill's disappearing, Jack forces Jill to reveal her secret.

LA Weekly Sam Sweet

More farce might have served the film well; as Parise draws from a playbook of medical melodrama and romantic-comedies clichés, her moral about living outside the box becomes harder and harder to swallow.

Variety Peter Debruge

Parise no doubt intends the pic's attention to the disease -- plus animal adoption and fair trade coffee -- to be socially enlightening, but it feels suspiciously like sympathy-mongering.

Los Angeles Times Robert Abele

Bubbly to the point of indigestion and mechanical about ticking off the romantic trajectory.
