Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Review by Pearl Goddard

Greg Gaines is able to disappear at will into any social environment. He has only one friend, Earl, and together they spend their time making movies, their own incomprehensible versions of Coppola and Herzog cult classics – until Greg’s mother forces him to rekindle his childhood friendship with Rachel. She has been diagnosed with leukemia – cue extreme adolescent awkwardness – but a parental mandate must be obeyed. When she stops treatment, Greg and Earl decide to make a film for her, which turns into the Worst Film Ever Made and becomes a turning point in each of their lives. All at once Greg must abandon invisibility and stand in the spotlight …

Description

**Soon to be a major motion picture**It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he’s figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl.This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg’s mother forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg’s entire life.
