Yea I just watched it again last night on the late night movie,I also thought it was pretty lame had some of the lamest dialouge in it ever!Like the part where Garcias son asks him if he does die will he see his mother in heaven and Garcias charechter says something like I don"t know i can"t answer that son or some similar crap!Now i don"t know about anyone else but I don"t think i would tell my critically ill son something like that,I would probably reassure him that he would live and that if in fact that he did pass that he would see his mother on the other side.Yea there was all kinds of stupid dialouge,sometimes funny even in this movie.I love Keaton and in my opinion he was the best thing about the movie but it was pretty lame!!!

He did assure him.
He said "Your not gonna die Matt"

Was this the movie where the squirrels were after him? :D

I thought it was funny after Keaton's character told Garcia's that he would not donate his marrow and the officers pull him out of the room, in the chair. Garcia and Keaton are glaring at each other, but the guy's in a "wheelie" chair. It was so funny.

That's pretty much what I came on here to say. I know I saw this either in the theater or at least the day it came out on video and I forgot it existed til today. And I agree that this movie is one lol-worthy moment after the last.

I also am not saying it's the worst film ever but wow is it ridiculous and hilarious.

I think the trailers hurt this movie and people often overlook how fun it is. People were expecting grit and we got over the top. The only think I don't like is Keaton's accent. That accent he's used on the Simpsons etc so I find his voice unintentionally funny at times. But things like where he growls at the dog are hilarious...

It was mostly stupid, but Keaton save this flick from totall wreckage. It was hilarious when Garcia fired at the lights from the window, that's some serious aim with a gun, lol. And the kid was like super smart and so aware of what was happening to him (the scene in the bed), but maybe thats common for cancer patients?
