"An unusual mix of Leigh-for-Dummies social realism and fairy-tale wish-fulfillment." - Ed Gonzalez

I appreciate the effort to resist cliches. This could have easily fallen into the category of trite melodrama. But it, fortunately, refrained from insulting the audience's intelligence, for the most part. The characters feel quite real, especially Rory. We are torn between pity (our natural inclination for a person with his condition) and disdain (after all, he is an asshole). The result is a very real character with very real emotional expressions. Both actors do fantastic jobs here.

While it does have some cliched moments it also has several genuine surprises and mostly is follows a sincere path in crafting a portrait of life confined to a wheelchair. Hints of sadness and strife are counterbalanced by an upbeat attitude and this tone, along with some excellent performances, make for a very engaging and enjoyable film.

Utterly convincing performances from the two lead actors. A fresh look at how sometimes, a friend can come into our lives for a while, only to disappear, but not before creating a long-lasting impact.

very cliche, belongs on lifetime, but not a bad movie nonetheless.

Best film I've seen in a long time
