i’ll watch it to support josh hutcherson. he’s crazy talented for someone so young.

Let me guess – either Emma or Josh’s character dies, and that’s the funeral they go to? Kinda sounds like a version of Bridge to Terabithia.

@Rockstar: It says that the movie is a romantic comedy so hopefully it won’t be a tragic ending for those two characters.

either way, I think I am excited to see how this all pans out. I love Neil Patrick Harris and the actors are pretty good too!

I have always appreciated NPH’s works. He’s such a gifted actor. I think his indie film will do good, especially that Emma Roberts is starring in it.

The last part of the synopsis sounds very, very interesting.

NPH can do no wrong in my book.

sounds good, please come out soon!!!

sounds similar to One Day

Sounds good! Can’t wait :)

Aw, Josh is cute. And a good actor. I think I’ll watch this.

@Rockstar:

Are you stupid? It says: “who become friends as freshmen in high school and see their relationship deepen through the four years, four proms and one funeral before graduation.”

Which means there relationship is supposed to deepen after 4 years of friendship and experiencing a death together – bringing them even closer together. Therefore one of them CAN’T die.
How could they possibly attend their own funeral? F*#k sake.
Please think before you comment. Thanks.

ooo i would totally watch this movie. Love all three of them.

This article is informative and interesting
