Now Is Good is a 2012 teen romantic drama film directed by Ol Parker. Based on Jenny Downham's 2007 novel Before I Die, it was adapted by Parker, who had recently written the screenplay for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The film, which stars Dakota Fanning, Jeremy Irvine and Paddy Considine, centres on Tessa, a girl who is dying of leukaemia and tries to enjoy her remaining life as much as she possibly can. The first trailer for the film was released on 5 March 2012. Plot Tessa is seventeen with terminal acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Aided by her best friend Zoey, she fulfills an undisclosed bucket list before her impending death. One night, both attempt to engage in sex with two boys they pick up in a club. Tessa goes on a radio talk show with her overbearing single father, where she pokes fun at her terminal diagnosis and approaches it with humour. Tessa is loving and caring towards her brother Cal, towards whom she feels guilty for stealing her parents' attention, and gives him days that are all about him while dealing with her father trying to treasure every moment with his daughter, while her mother is supportive, but is rarely there for her. Tessa gets the last of her chemotherapy equipment removed from her body so she can live the rest of her days normally. She meets her new neighbour Adam, who is taking care of his handicapped widowed mother while putting his own life on hold such as going to university, and Tessa instantly befriends him. Adam joins Tessa and Zoey on their adventures, where he takes care of both of them while they take hallucinogenic mushrooms before going into the forest and finding great cliffs, followed by going to a party where Tessa and Adam start developing feelings for each other. Tessa and Zoey continue to fulfil Tessa's bucket list by stealing from a store, but after being caught Tessa discovers that Zoey stole a pregnancy test, suggesting that she may be pregnant. Tessa and Adam go to the beach together and begin a romantic relationship. Tessa introduces Adam to her father, who disapproves of the relationship because Tessa's health is currently in steep decline after she stopped chemotherapy. He tells Adam, Tessa's condition will get worse and that Adam won't be up to it. Tessa takes Zoey to a clinic where Zoey's pregnancy is confirmed,
