I Get It, But Still....
lorriepaige-361358 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I get that we should all accept people of all different ways, but the relationship with Greg and Andra seemed inappropriate and unrealistic.

For one thing, as adults Greg looked like he was 30 and Andra looked barely 18. I know they are much closer in age than that, but it looked creepy seeing them date. Another is in real life, most people would rather date someone who was around their intellectual equal. Greg was a mature teacher, while Andra, although endearing and charming, acted more like a 12 year old. In years to come, I can see Greg becoming weary of not having a mate who was at least his intellectual equal or challenges him intellectually.

The film has really good intentions, but the storyline relationship of Greg and Andra is implausible.

Also, as another reviewer mentioned, why is a teacher (Greg) and a lawyer (Bonnie) still living with their parents? It's laughable seeing them interrupted, making out on the couch, when Greg's dad walks in. Why doesn't Greg have his own place? Lol!

EVERYONE Should See This Movie About Tolerance
tesswysko27 February 2019
In today's day and age where we're having rallies about black lives matter, and feminists are saying that women are getting treated worse than men, and then you have Mexican Nationals saying that they have a right to stay in the United States illegally and a wall should not be built, everyone everywhere is saying the everybody else hates them and doesn't have tolerance but when it comes to a birth situation like down syndrome people just sweep it under the rug and see it as normal to treat someone with an extra chromosome or a disease is though there less than human and that's supposed to be okay? Everywhere in this world today there's so much hate. This movie really points out how much innocence and love people who have birth disorders like down syndrome have. All they want is to be loved and accepted and more often than not they are treated very poorly, less than equal to the rest of society, and like they cannot live normal lives. Well I've worked with people with special needs and I hope to tell you they are some of the most wonderful, amazing, Love Field people you will ever meet! This movie does a absolute amazing job pointing out so many facts. First and foremost the beauty in the hearts of people who are born with Down Syndrome. But it goes farther than other movies about people with Down Syndrome that I've seen, it also discusses the way that even people that children with Down Syndrome thought were their friends treat them with such utter disregard when it isn't convenient for them especially when they get older. It discusses the fact that parents quite often have to put their entire lives on hold and have to worry about what their children are going to be faced with once they're gone. It discusses what the people with Down Syndrome are capable of such as a girl in this movie trying to get her associate's degree. It discusses how much of a normal relationship with other people people with Down Syndrome are able to have and if they are able to have a say marriage with a normal ability person, how the rest of the world will treat the two of them. It gives you so much to think about and gives you so much truth the person who wrote the script truly must have some experience in this. This obviously is some sort of an indie flick because you can tell it's low budget, this sets are low-budget, most of the actors are low-budget, but when you're swept up into the script and most of the actors are good actors you tend to forget that it's low budget. I truly believe that this movie should be played in schools I think it would diffuse a lot of this hatred that's going on right now with the whole black lives matter and all lives matter and all the other stuff that's going on right now and maybe people will start learning to love each other for who they are. God has blessed us with one life and we need to cherish it and cherish the people around us regardless of color, race, sex, and mental ability.
