Amy has an interesting plan, but this movie is sorely lacking.
5 October 2023
So here's the concept. A 25-yr-old lady working as a dollar store employee has an episode at work, she sees a doctor, she gets the bad news. She has a brain tumor, a Glioblastoma, and she will die in three days. (In reality the condition is NOT that deadly for an otherwise healthy person.) So she decides, with the encouragement of her sister, to make her F-it list (rhymes with bucket list). But the first five are trivial things, like the people who use the phone when in line, or mistaken fast food orders, or the people who bring 20 items to the 5 item line, or misbehavior at the school drop off lane. And she eats cake and ice cream for breakfast instead of healthier oatmeal.

Number six on her list is a big one but we have no hint of it until, literally, the last minute of the movie. Most of the movie seems to just be killing time, like the several slow conversations with her sister, or between her pregnant sister and her husband.

The actresses who play the two sisters are very capable, Alyson Gorske as the dying girl, Amy Taylor. And Angel Prater as her pregnant sister, Mary Taylor. The plot also contains a scheme to get back $300,000 that they considered "stolen" from them by a businessman. But truthfully, the script is awful, sophomoric, several scenes are played out in a cartoonish manner.

No, not a good movie at all. Filmed in the year 2000 during COVID time, much of it in Sacramento and nearby cities. I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime.
