Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
patriciaingmire This film started by my father, is about my brother and finished by my son has touched our lives like no one can imagine!!! I am so proud of my son, George. I think he did a wonderful job finishing his grandfather's movie. My brother, Dwight thinks he is a celebrity! We have always felt that about him. The article in the Virginian Pilot today did a wonderful job of telling our story. "Think of Me first as a Person" is a touching portrayal of my little brother, born with Down Syndrone in 1960. It tells what is was like. The attitudes of people not always very kind. But the love of family was stronger. Today, Dwight lives with our sister Cindy in Norfolk. He loves to color, watch television and listen to music all at the same time. We are so blessed to still have him in our lives. To think, a year ago doctors didn't give him 6 months to live but with the love of his sisters he is thriving.
