Description:
GRIFFIN AND PHOENIX is a poignantly funny love story about two people who face a seemingly insurmountable obstacle that may stand between them and a last chance at love.
Amazon.com:
Is it ever too late to have a last chance at love? The heartwarming answer of Griffin & Phoenix is, thankfully, no. This sweet little film has a big heart, and carries itself with grace and class, despite its tough subject matter. And that's due largely to the moving performances by the two leads, and the deft direction of Ed Stone, who's never heavy-handed. Griffin (Dermot Mulroney) learns in the film's opening scene that he has inoperable cancer and not long to live. A workaholic, Griffin screeches in his tracks at the news, and at reconsidering the priorities he thought ruled his life. By chance he runs into Phoenix (Amanda Peet), a will o' the wisp free spirit who has hidden issues of her own. But sometimes chemistry has a mind of its own, and the two are drawn together in ways both warm and sad. (Have a hankie or two handy.) Despite the subject matter, the film never loses the ordinary absurdities of life. 'You can't save my life,' says a quiet Griffin to his doctor in the early scene. 'Can you validate my parking?' It's this embrace of humor and pathos that makes Griffin & Phoenix so memorable as a film--and as a mirror of life. --A.T. Hurley

Rating: - Romantic comedy for those who hate romantic comedies
I hate most romantic comedies. They're schmaltzy and written badly and reek of vanilla. I was cautious when I picked this one up. I had wanted to rent the original, but it was nowhere to be found. And to be quite honest, it's not straightforward comedy. For those who are accustomed to the icky, tacked on happy ending, this will not be your cup of tea. It has tragedy, THE HORROR!!! As much as I abhor the term " chick flick " ( why there isn't a similar derogatory phrase for guy's films I don't know), it does have some of the familiar standbys that women are used to. & I must admit I fell prey to a deluge of tears. If you want quirk and sarcasm instead of teddy bears and roses, I strongly recommend you check this one out.
Rating:  - Love Life While You Live It
It is ironic that a film about 'death' is so 'life' affirming..
Without being corney it is a sentimental masterpiece..A real film about real people...people growing in understanding and appreciation while slowly getting rid of all of the garbage that had been poured into their lives before they met...Someday, Hollywood get tired of explosions and obsenties and return to films such as these that enrich the viewer...
Rating: - love amanda
i have a crush on amanda. this movie deals with death but life too. Two people with something in common the end of there lives. both have different ways of dealing with a terminal illness but find time for each other. I guess a man shouldn't have emotions about a movie that makes you laugh and cry. cancer has a way of sneaking up on you. she is such a doll.
Rating:  - Griffin and Phoenix
Great actors but bad movie script. Why would they agree to do this depressing film.
Should have rented the movie and saved myself some money and grief.
Rating: - Love Til The End
This movie is a must to view, it touched my heart in the most possible way, you will need a box of kleenex and view it with the love of your life. The movie stars (Dermot Mulroney) as Griffin and ( Amanda Peet) as Sara Phoenix. He discovers he is dying and falls in love with Sara who also is dying, These 2 characters have such good chemistry together til the end. Please view this movie, I will now go and search to purchase. Dont forget the kleenex and the one you love. Enjoy! The music from this movie was just as good.
