Rated 13 May 2010

An anemically-scripted TV movie made from a decent book that takes a sophisticated exploration of the nature of intelligence and turns it into a movie about how dumb people are actually better than smart people because dumb people love more. Or something like that. Matthew Modine is good as Charlie, and Bonnie Bedelia is very good as Charlie's mother Rose.
