Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) by Tvnewsguido — 25 Sep 2015
A film that manages to rise above the average "dying teen" drama.
This one kind of sucked me in. I sat down ready to see yet another "cute teen with cancer" story and really got swept up in this fairly odd suburban fantasy.
While you will find all the John Green tropes that have proved so popular of late with the YA set, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon elevates the material with a practiced eye and a true understanding of the awkwardness of certain moments. The script is effortlessly clever and surprisingly funny.
Prepare to give it all your attention for the 100 minutes required.
