Audience Reviews

Dan_Tebasco 8/10 May 25, 2017
Good film, part dark comedy, part drama with a dash of mystery sprinkled on top.

About a man in the middle of commiting suicide when his sister calls asking him to look after her daughter for the night.

Not to be confused with JUST BEFORE I GO which is also about a suicidal guy but in that one played by SEAN WILLIAM SCOTT and this one stars a mister SHAWN CHRISTENSEN. JBIG is slightly more comedic where as this one is slightly more dramatic and more realistic. Both are well worth seeing though.
