Dying Young starring Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott is one of those romance movies that uses cancer as the main plot point, because if you have cancer in a movie that is not a minor plot point. You know the type of movies, a terminally ill person falls in love and the couple is doomed long-term, but right now things are great. Think, The Fault in Our Stars ; P.S. I Love You ; and A Little Bit of Heaven. This particular movie involves a nurse who falls for the man she is taking care of who is terminally ill. The plot unfolds as you think it would. A little more than halfway through the movie our patient, who has stopped his chemo wanders into the hedge maze outside his house at night. He starts to feel sick and Hilary (Julia) goes in after him.
Dying Young 1991 Hedge maze
They make their way out of the maze, but still have plenty of challenges ahead of them. The movie is ok and if you like sad romances this is the movie for you.
I give it a 5.9/10.
