All My Life is a competent, heartfelt tearjerker about a couple racing to marry before terminal cancer takes over. It's based on a true story, which gives it emotional heft, and it models genuine love and community support during crisis.
But let's be real: this is a pretty standard romantic drama. You know exactly where it's going from minute one, and it hits every expected beat along the way. Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr. are charming, and the film avoids being overly manipulative, but it's not breaking new ground.
The bigger question is whether your tween/teen is ready for a movie about watching someone die. This isn't Air Bud where a sad thing happens—the entire film is about terminal illness. Common Sense Media says 11+, which feels about right for emotionally mature kids who can process heavy themes.
It's a decent choice if you want to open conversations about mortality, illness, or how to support people facing crisis. But if you're looking for something more original or less emotionally draining, there are better options out there.
