hiding from the future within the past

Warning: Spoilers
picture an ensemble where the hottest and most successful actor in the group, has the least amount of scenes. this is done to show how strong the writing is. this movie does a great portrayal of families living together and interacting with each other with special needs and handicaps being present. this should let everyone know that even if there is a problem that things can be taken care of. never use a family members illness to hide yourself. johnny depp plays a goof, but, he plays a true romantic. benny, starts off as a tough guy trying to take care of his sister and being a nice guy at work. Joon plays a mentally challenged female that has to have everything thought out for her. this movie is similar in style to rainman with tom cruise. the way true love shines from this movie makes me glad to know true love can be found. even if its only found in the movie, this is a good thing.
