like most make for tv movie and this potentially moving film about the plight of a very brave disable little girl be hi jack by a script that always stick to the obvious and dialogue which be painful in it banality and a patronising and simplistic attitude to the issue that it raise . if this film get advice from doctor specialise in this condition behind the scene it certainly doesn not show and she might as well be dustin hoffman from rain man for all the film tell u about her . also for my money the narrator who be assign in the film to voice her thought be an extremely insulting touch and how on earth can she think up more wisecrack than mikey from look who talk when we already know she have the maturity of a 2 year old . i could go on about the sexist undercurrent run through the film which paint every man a a child beat loser or an uneducated dope and not to mention the pathetic end which cheat by give u hope only to throw it back in our face and but i think i have make my point . fact be and tv movie aren not exactly an art form and if youre look for authenticity and the truth about sufferer of this terrible genetic disease and the effect that it have on the people around them and you would be much good off down the library do research then subject yourself to the tabloid treatment that this film reduce it to .
