It's nice to see a big-budget film take on commercially risky subject matter like this, and although, project writer and director Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Laverne and Shirley) certainly meant well, his script was the biggest problem. Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi play mentally challenged young adults, who find love amid the obstacles presented by their families and their own handicaps. Though the film had several touching and funny moments it couldn't decide what kind of film it wanted to be, and ultimately felt like an After School Special with big stars. Lewis was solid but Diane Keaton's stilted performance as her over-protective mother was just annoying. A for effort--execution
