  • Obvious Oscar begging

    I didn’t see it yet but I know it was so obvious that Sean Penn wanted to win an Oscar that he thinks his acting will fool everyone thankfully it didn’t
  • One of my favorite with Sean penn.

    I have to even say he was as good as Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Heart wholesome goodness.

    I LOVE IT. My eldest brother is special needs he’ll be 27 tomorrow. Lately he’s been talking about “starting his own family” he’s been more interactive with our nieces. I never thought I’d ever imagine him “growing up” I absolutely love this movie.
  • The Best (and saddest) Movie I Have Ever Seen

    This movie is so amazingly great and sad at the same time, but it makes a perfect mixture in this movie’s case. I watched this when it came out with my dad, and I loved the movie, as much as I cried. This is probably the only movie I have ever cried over, but the fact that it is so surreal makes me wonder why this movie is so underrated. Rotten tomatoes can shut up, because there are people who suffer from low mental capacities, agoraphobia, and other things along this line that this movie addresses. Them using some pretty good redos of songs by The Beatles is a good touch, and adds to the feeling of that one part of us that will always stick with us no matter what the world does, and we can fight to stay with those we love, wether we win or lose. This is a good message to love those who are different, and that they are more determined than you think.

    I cried my eyes out, it was so good. I have been in a situation like this, as I am the little girl and the dad was my mom. I will say a lot of the same things happened in real life that did in the movie. I really recommend it because not only was the acting outstanding, the movie is inspirational and opens our eyes to a different view point.
