Overview
Today is Jimmy's last day alive. His Alzheimer's is worsening, so he's decided to die like he has lived - with intention, humor, and zest. In his last day on Earth, Jimmy will show an obituary writer, his death doula, his estranged brother, his caretaker, a surreal being, and the guests at his fabulous FUN-eral, that perhaps the art of living is the art of dying.
This is a fun, sweet movie with a lot of heart. I’ve always appreciated any story that teaches us that even if we are dying we are still living (and that dying is part of living). We’ve seen some of this movie in other movies but I think that its heart makes it feel at least a little bit fresh.
