Got invited by some friends and went not expecting much after seeing the trailer. Unfortunately, I was not surprised. Basic Hollywood movie about the handicapped and how they move on their own and face prejudice. About halfway through, I figured out the rest of the plot and emotional strings that were going to be pulled. I have a friend who has cerebral palsy, lives on his own, and speaks about like Michael does. Part of me would like his reaction except I know he doesn't like movies with bad language, alcohol, and sexual innuendo and neither does he live that way. Go if you must, but expect a Hollywood or movie-of-the-week telling of what the handicap life is...in short, nothing resembling real life.
