This discovery starts him on a journey of self-reflection which includes starting a novel and taking a psychology class at New York University. In this class, he meets Sarah Phoenix (Amanda Peet). He asks her on a date and after hesitation she comes. Then the two of them goof around and eventually stay up all night together watching the sunrise. Griffin believes they are close, but Phoenix doesn't show as much interest. Although Phoenix sends Griffin the occasional mixed signals, the two team up for a whirlwind of adventurous and almost childlike activities, such as painting graffiti on a water tower. However Phoenix doesn't want to hurt Griffin or herself by falling in love because she's too weak to deal with it as she too has cancer and is also short of time. One day while at Griffin's house after their adventure, while cleaning she comes across his books on dying and "living life to the fullest" and comes to the conclusion that Griffin knows she's ill and is being nice only out of sympathy. She storms out and after their confrontation Griffin explains that the books belong to him and he too has cancer. This causes the two to fall ever more deeply for one another, and their relationship deepens. Together, they strive to make the most of their last days of life... There´s moments in "Griffin & Phoenix" of an ok drama that touches you and then there´s moments of unbalance that doesn´t fully connect the dots. We get a tragic storyline, but it´s not fully believable I would say. However, I do like Amanda Peet. She´s lovely and radiant.

Maybe I wasn't in the mood or maybe I wasn't impressed by the cast even though I like Amanda Peet.

And Amanda Peet was phenomenal as Phoenix. See more Read all reviews
