Quotes:
Beach Stud: [giving instructions to Griffin on what to do in case something goes wrong with his harness] All right if you get into any trouble, for real, you're gonna pull this okay? That's gonna release you. Hold on, flow down to the water. You afraid of sharks? I'm just kidding man!, no seriously, the sound when you hit the water it's gonna scare any sharks away. Oh, right when you hit the water, if you're conscious, what you wanna do is get out of the harness as quick as possible because the weight from that is gonna pull you under. We'll eventually find you but it's a bummer. more

Griffin & Phoenix - a delight!, 20 November 2006
9/10
Author: tonyw-21 from Canada

Ed Stone's directorial debut is a charming and poignant love story. Griffin (Dermot Mulroney) is a NY insurance broker, diagnosed with cancer and given less than two years to live. Griffin is estranged from his ex and two sons who he doesn't really know as he buries himself in work. Griffin changes when he meets Phoenix (Amanda Peet) during a university lecture She is a professor who is also obsessed with work. They carry on an enchanting courtship and discover mutual interests, fantasies and indulgences. The film ends when Phoenix reveals her life's secret which binds them together forever. Amanda Peet (Syriana) shows her versatility and logs a solid performance! Most intriguing is the title, which Stone chose from historical/mythical origins!
