There's a lot to love about this movie, but it feels like it never tries to not be safe, to venture outside the bounds of these odd disability themed rom-coms. Probably being a little harsh after coming off the amazing Oasis which really pushes the boundaries of that kind of movie.

This is a very charming film that I enjoyed a lot. The performances are key, and the two lead actors, Dancy in particular, step up to the plate and really deliver. It felt natural, and I was quite immersed in the experience. Despite suffering from pacing issues and "magical disabled person syndrome" (if such a term exists), it's still a very fun film with an absolutely perfect ending. You're not in for heavy material here, but if you want a sweet romance movie, Adam might just fit the bill.

18/9/9 - Light and sweet, with some wonderful cinematography and a few nice scenes. A little patchy, but a great ending.

Dancy and Byrne, the afflicted and the normal respectively, play their parts with tremendous detail and concentration, and even though Dancy's details are the more ostentatious (the blindman's lack of eye contact, the panic attacks, the tantrums, the nonstop spiels), Byrne more than holds her own through ordinary human warmth and engagement. It%u2019s a standoff as well in suppression of native accents, English and Australian, his and hers.

Too caught up in the maudlin "falling in love" subject matter that it fails to say anything worthwhile or substantial. But I have to give credit to Hugh Dancy for his understated and underappreciated performance that keeps this film from becoming a complete and total trainwreck. He manages to completely avoid the tendency to overact, which is often the case with roles such as this. So kudos to him.

As my mom said, this is more of an "appreciation" movie than an "entertainment" movie. Even so, I was laughing numerous times and found myself fully involved. That said, there were things in the story I would have liked more explanation of. And, the ending left me a little unsatisfied. However, I cannot say enough good things about Dancy's performance! I adore this actor and I think this is just another perfect example of his diversity and believability!

Bittersweet. I'm more disabled than he in some ways, less in other ways. At least he is not overwhelmed when close to her. The ending destroyed the little hope I had.

Sometimes hokey but overall solid. The 2 leads are really good and have good chemistry together. Sometimes it feels like a TV movie and I can't help thinking moms everywhere will love it but I still enjoyed it for what it was.

Fantastically acted, beautifully shot and thoughtfully made. Byrne and Dancy have great chemistry and some scenes between them were absolutely heartbreaking. The ending is bittersweet and really caps off a great romantic comedy drama. I wish I had a Rose Byrne!

New York-set romantic drama with a twist. Dancy never overdoes his role and Byrne is sympathetic without being cloying.

The leads are thoroughly engaging, but the supporting players are largely one-note and the plot falls into mediocrity in the last segments of the movie. Still, it's a genuinely warm and moving.

Despite the fact, that a protagonist has Asperger's Syndrom, it is just another romantic comedy/drama. Hugh Dancy was good, but Rose Byrne was just too sweet, unnatural. She talked to Adam like he was 5-year-old child, it felt wrong. There was no chemistry between them, I had an impression that they were together because they were bored, not because they needed each other.
