Griffin & Phoenix is a 2006 American romance film directed by Ed Stone and written by John Hill.

The film starts with Henry Griffin (Dermot Mulroney) learning from his oncologist that his cancer has spread and that he only has one year, two at most, left to live.

Although Phoenix sends Griffin the occasional mixed signals, the two team up for a whirlwind of adventurous and almost childlike activities, such as painting graffiti on a water tower.

However Phoenix doesn't want to hurt Griffin or herself by falling in love because she's too weak to deal with it as she too has cancer and is also short of time.

The movie ends with two men repainting the water tower, covering Griffin's graffiti heart proclaiming his love for Phoenix.
