Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Brilliant and touching

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely loved this movie. It is heartwarming. It leaves a bright feeling afterwards even though the major topic might seem quite upsetting. I think it is a great directorial debut of Jennifer Morrison. Beautiful cinematography, the cast fits perfectly! Melissa Benoist, Michael Angarano, and of course Oscar-winning Allison Janney got my attention from the very beginning.
It is a beautiful story about persistence, dedication, and desire to help people. I wish there were more movies like this.

6/1/18. This movie took awhile to find its center. But, if you stay with this you will find that the main character, Ned Chipley, played by Angarano, is a young man with special needs. Because the viewer does not know this, it is easy, given today's climate of terrorism, to feel a rising alarm as to what Ned is trying to do with his life. Misunderstanding ensues, and havoc breaks loose. This is more of a dark comedy about the importance to dealing with people with special needs in an appropriate way to avoid problems. Of course, having Alison Janney playing the mother makes this worth watching.

This movie can be difficult to watch; you are watching a quirky, obviously mentally challenged guy try to find his way in the world. a good-hearted person knows that everyone is different and unique and beautiful in their own way; of course, that was how I saw him! But that doesn't mean that it isn't normal for someone to want to yell at him for pretending to be someone that he is not. The movie shows the messy, chaotic, disheveled way that things evolve in people's lives-how they affect one another and subtly cause change in the other. Probably a lot of the interactions he had with some people were implausible, but that's what movies are for. Slogging through, he eventually makes it to the purpose in life that can work for him. This movie can be seen as how God's grace works in people's lives, and I enjoyed seeing an example here. Anyway, if you are not good-hearted, you will probably just get frustrated by him as well as the other seeming "losers" around him.

This movie is funny, sweet, sad, happy, and uniquely pleasing, as life can be at its best. Two thirds of the way through the film I found myself hoping the movie would have a happy ending, not just for Ned, but for Tally. They were just two people the world had passed by and forgotten; the deserved it.It's nice to root for nice people. It's nice to see nice people get nice things in life.You don't need a full deck to have a good hand or to lend a hand -- anyone can save lives. It's a nice movie, well worth the time.
