     European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 4, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Mini Al \ ii us Julia Roberts stars in the drama dying Young which also has Campbell Scott As a cancer victim who Falls in love with her. Chuck Vinch staff writer \ Mon  Youngr Atad r a a must see a Worth your time a passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait Hollywood movie moguls have never seen a bandwagon they  like to jump on with both feet so in the Wake of the inexplicable Success of last years ghost death dying and the afterlife Are big at the moment. And As always each successive Effort in one of these mindless follow the Leader exercises will be progressively less interesting than the last. From the looks of dying Young this particular sub genre a Call it death Lite since you cry your eyeballs out in the theater but forget about it an hour later a is already about to crash on the rocks. Although it has the big screens no. 1 Siren of the moment the bounteous Julia Roberts this film is at heart a stale twist on the Ali Mcgraw Ryan of Neal four Hankie classic love Story. The difference Here is that its the Guy Campbell Scott facing the life threatening condition in this Case leukaemia. Roberts plays a Young working woman named Hilary who finds her Boyfriend with another woman and decides to move Back Home with mom Colleen Dewhurst. But when she starts feeling Claustrophobic she begins looking for something to do with her life. After bopping around the City in scenes designed to hype the movie soundtrack Hilary spots a newspaper and fora live in nurse at a mansion in the ritzy Nob Hill Section of san Francisco. Despite having no nursing arc Dan trials she a hired by Victor Geddes Scot who explains that she had the shortest skirt among the applicants. Of course. Big Surprise a Victor who had All but Given up on life is born again with love for Hilary and his disease seems to go into remission. Soon he a off chemotherapy and they be fled his Rich domineering father to snuggle together in a rambling victorian House by the sea in Mendocino where they can be alone to do Many perfume and love montages. Then a Cott starts getting sick again and its revealed that he was engaging in a bit of emotional blackmail. To their credit director Joel Schumacher and writer Richard  done to cover up the ravages of cancer a there Are plenty of vomit scenes a but they tack on an ending that seems com pc Cly detached in tone from the rest of the movie. It trashes whatever credibility Roberts and Scott have established among the films viewers. All in All its a predictable weeper a bit trite and livened Only marginally by the attractiveness of the two Lead actors which is hardly enough to sustain an entire movie. Roberts shows nothing that we did no to already see in her pretty woman Hooker with a heart of gold., she a starting to typecast herself with repetitious takes on the Tough yet vulnerable Young woman overcoming the Satnic Nix of adversity and dumb men on the Road to finding happiness Ever after. Dying Young rates two stars.
