a a physically challenge person ( god and how i hate that phrase ) i just happen to catch this on cable where there be absolutely nothing else to watch overall and it be a fantastic movie . yes and i be a little disappointed upon find out that neither actor be disable and and yes and i be a little disappointed that more of the movie wasn not film from the true point of view of the disabled ( can you imagine what it like always be the tall person in the room and then have to live the rest of your life with a view of nothing but other people ass and crotch . have to always wait for the idiot to stop read the newspaper in the only handicap stall and endure everyone else rude bodily expulsion while you wait . ) . and the scene with him drive the car be absolutely me . be there and do that and literally . but the movie be true enough to matter while i have never live in a home or assist residence and there be plenty of time throughout the movie where i find myself nod and say to myself yeah and that true . that happen to me . what impress me be that some of the commentors on this board express the fact that the movie make them view life a little differently and with a little more insight a the life of a silent aminority can not ask more than that out of a movie and that it make you think and view life differently and so by virtue of that alone and the movie be tremendously successful . should be require viewing of every kid in junior high school . pretty much for every person that severely physically disabled and independence be one of and if not the most important focus of our daily life and from work to socialize to recreate . for those of you who felt the movie be cliched and try live our life for a single day you will see that the movie be cliched because . it true . the challenge the actor face only skim the surface of what happen to u every day if be lucky and we experience the same emotional and personal growth that the three character ( include the girl ) do . every day present obstacle for u to overcome it just that there no swelling and dramatic music to accompany our life and unless it in our ipod . lol .
