This movie is based on the best selling novel of the same name by JoJo Moyes.  If you are a person that loves a good romance movie that will make you cry then be sure you check out Me Before You this summer.

This movie was announced as a sequel to the famous 1984 hit of the same name. The project was originally supposed to feature characters from the old film, but after Harold Ramis died, they decided to scrap the whole script and re do the original movie with an all female cast. There are many famous actors in this movie such as Kristen Wiig, who plays as Erin Gilbert, a published author on the subject of the paranormal and professor at Columbia University. I think the all female cast is going to put an interesting twist on the original movie and intrigue people to go and see this movie.
