Me and Earl and the Dying Girl wasn’t the best movie. It wasn’t amazing or terrible. It was an okay movie with a very simple plot. The stars in the film are Thomas Mann JR as Greg, RJ Cyler is Earl, and Olivia Cooke as Rachel. Those are the main stars but they are also minor characters.

The parts of the movie were separated by captions of how he felt. For example it said “The Part Where I Panic Out Of Sheer Awkwardness”. The film had some good parts but it had stronger flaws than high
