Okay, I'm making a review about this.
I just watched this movie today (02/20/13) because I have nothing to do. The movie shows how I feel. I can relate to the movie. I'm not saying that my dad is dying and their marriage was not a success but I feel what Ronnie felt when she found out that his dad was sick. I'm also not saying that my dad has terminal cancer but it's something hereditary and it has nothing to do with this.
Anyway, to cut it all short I was moved because of what his dad did for them to be together again. I'm a daddy's girl so I was totally flushed about his dad's case. I mean, that was the best thing for a dad to do. Fixed a broken relationship between their children. I salute Ronnie's dad (even though he's a fictional character) because he has a lot of courage and wits to do that. Those are one of the things our parents are willing to do. His dad sacrificed a lot.
What I hate about novels turned into movies that some good parts aren't included. I was expecting her mom's confession about their break-up. I remember that Will's sister has a conversation with Ronnie but that isn't included in the movie too. And also the Priest-Ronnie conversations.
All in all, the movie was great. It still has the concept of the novel event though some parts aren't included (maybe that's just how it works).
