I found this a bit vague. Difficult to categorise.

I was disappointed with this movie as it showed yet again another way my daughter may get rejected.

Good to see a person with Down Syndrome portrayed in this light but could have been further explored.

Was expecting a longer feature with the DVD - not clear about what the message was supposed to be although I loved the actor

Great for anyone exploring friendship/relationship issues. I find it helpful when DVDs have a running time on the back but this one didn't. It is relatively short.
