MY OPINION:
This is a moving film which is well worth watching, anyone who enjoyed Steel Magnolias will not be disappointed. Fans of Vincent D’Onofrio will enjoy seeing his portrayal of a local who becomes friendly with Victor and his nurse, though VDO does not play a major role the fact that the starring roles are well executed and the story holds the viewer’s interest throughout means that no fast forwarding is necessary.

Ah... Dying Young. I confess I have watched it several times, but I also have to confess that I'm not a great fan of JR and so pleased there was no real love interest between her and our man, but wasn't he just so darn cute at the party.
Somehow I just don't see vdo and jr together in any movie.
You're right, I never fast forward just to see vdo; the film stands up very well on its own.
I didn't think I'd like this movie but I did, esp. b/c it was shot in my old stomping grounds of San Francisco and Mendocino, so I knew all the locales very well. And Vincent....my he was just gorgeous, but he should have had a bigger role.
Erm...I fast-forwarded to Vincent's parts. (If only I could in real life!)
I look destined to bring your blog comments down to groin level, I'm afraid.
ann- I like JR she has a nice smile.
jojo- He should always have the biggest role.
Val- groin is good, must review something sexy:)
