Rating: - Powerful message
What a wonderful piece of work. I love to watch and rewatch this movie. It really has a powerful message about having people in our lives who may not be able to function like everyone else, but that is exactly why they are so loveable. You can learn a lot from them if you listen and watch. Mr. Erman really got the point across. The cast was incredible.

I think that this movie was put togeather really well.I think that Courtney Vance did a remakable job in bringing the role of lucien to life.i feel the artist is trying to show us that no matter how diffrent we are we all go through life altering problems. i have to say that this piece was worth the time of the drictor and crew. i felt that the mood of the movie was hared to chew than others for example when berries dad almost hit him it made me really mad but i came out of that state when lucien,norman, and arnold got toride the trian. The theme of the moive is one that I will never forget do ... Read More

Rating: - Nathan Lane At His Best
This movie shows the versatility of Nathan Lane as an actor. He is tremendous in this role; both funny and touching. Michael Jetter is also wonderful. In fact, all of the actors did a great job providing insight into the life of some remarkable people. Worth purchasing for the storyline-a must see if you are a Nathan Lane fan, as I am.
Rating: - Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Perfectly cast and well-acted. This a very touching movie without being sappy.
