All My Life Reviews
All My Life ’s story may have few surprises, but Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr.’s compelling chemistry effectively engages the audience nonetheless.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2022
Despite its best efforts, there are still those gooey moments that seem custom made for the movies rather than plucked from real life. But every time the film gets too close to schmaltzy Meyers is able to rein it back in.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022
Saccharine and by-the-numbers, this is the Starbucks of romantic tearjerkers - a weepie that's so militantly affable, it lacks any real charm or emotional depth, and will fail to light a fire in your heart.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 17, 2021
Situated as it is within its specific subgenre, All My Life fails the ultimate test: it leaves a dry-eyed audience.

The execution could have been better, but the story is touching and the leads manage to (mostly) pull it off.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 1, 2021
All My Life is sugary enough to give you a cavity, but in its better moments it is a reminder to embrace life and roll with the punches, no matter what happens.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2021
It's a paint-by-number love story with a disease-of-the-week twist.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 28, 2020
Real Life. True Love are awe inspiring through the performances of Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum. Jr. in tear jerker romance All My Life
| Dec 25, 2020
This real life tearjerker means well and won't harm your cinematic palette, but the acting and overall take on a familiar story left a lot to be desired.
| Original Score: C | Dec 15, 2020
All My Life isn't phenomenal, but it is effective. The film executes the romantic drama formula and does so, thanks largely to Shum Jr.'s performance.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 12, 2020
Somehow All My Life seems oddly lacking in stakes, which is so weird considering the story (the main symptoms of onscreen Chau's deadly but photogenic disease seem to be a little tiredness and sweatiness).
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 12, 2020
Worth watching both story-wise and emotionally, which is the greatest achievement of all time when producing these types of romantic dramas... also the story is less sappy.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 11, 2020
Director Marc Meyers and screenwriter Todd Rosenberg manipulate us without restraint, but Rothe and Shum are so endearing and their characters so pleasant that you don't mind it too much.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 10, 2020
This approachable and endearing romance stockpiles the smiles to brighten all the trials and tribulations that follow.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2020
The screenplay by Todd Rosenberg transforms into a moving parable about how degrees and perfect planning can suddenly mean very little when faced with cruel reality.
| Dec 7, 2020
The script feels like it was written by a mall focus group recruited exclusively from customers of Williams Sonoma and Pink by Victoria's Secret.
| Original Score: D+ | Dec 6, 2020
While the movie is certainly nothing to write home about in terms of creative energies expended, its fundamental respect for a tragic, yet truly inspiring tale saves it from turning into manipulative mush.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2020
All My Life has good intentions, but it dives head-first into a pool of romantic cliches and drenches itself in it for 90 minutes straight.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2020
Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr have great chemistry and the sense of community they have with their friends was comforting and nice to see (especially in isolated 2020)
| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 6, 2020
The film attempts an airy tone with all the makings of a romantic comedy (minus the laughs), but it never really works. Rothe and Shum are, however, enjoyable to watch.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 5, 2020
