Considering cystic fibrosis is one of the more common of the rare diseases, there haven't been that many movies made about it and it's interesting to watch a movie about the disease. A cystic fibrosis sufferer takes a road trip to Mexico to scatter his friend's ashes.
The cast is good. Max Theriot has gone from children's roles to an watchable actor in serious and horror including Bates Motel. He brings a slightly humorous likability to the character. Even if he looks a tad too healthy for a sick person. His love interest is played by Laurence Lebeouf and she is quite good too. Small but effective supporting roles by Juliette Lewis and Demian Bichir.
Unfortunately the road trip though interesting to watch is rather unrealistic. How he could sleep in the outdoors and stand out in the cold hitchhiking with his condition is a bit absurd. Then only from dipping into the stream for a while he gets so sick. Anyway the feel good ending is moderately uplifting.
