to be the worst possible time. Moments after meeting Ethan, Miley meets

and her life-threatening illness. Thinking she is sparing Ethan the heartache
of ending up with a cancer victim, Miley accepts Troy’s offer to move to
another state and marry him. Ethan is devastated. In final, desperate move
to win back the girl of his dreams, he decides to act. What he and Miley
discover about love is what the audience ultimately discovers about the
film itself -- namely, that everything is not always what it seems. (Posted:
