In the beginning, this consists of Lou being relentlessly upbeat and daffy in the manner of Bridget Jones. Suffice to say it’s not given a full hearing, but then that’s not why we’re watching this movie. Given the poster for this film, the medical tragedy in the plot and its based-on-a-novel pedigree, I walked into Me Before You with some trepidation: Would this be like a Nicholas Sparks adaptation? But it flies above its Sparksian brethren on the strength of its costars, and on a script that only occasionally sinks to platitudinous depths. Throughout the film he addresses her jauntily as Clark, as though she’s a sea captain or sergeant major.
