I thought it was a great movie...but I don't have teens so I'm no help in that

area.

My son is too young for this movie, but it had a great impact on me as a mother of an Aspie boy that behaves just like the guy in the movie.

I will tell you that I cried for a week and thinking about it makes my eyes tear-up. I think it is a good learning tool and a way to open communication with our children.

I watched the movie and thought if was very good. However, some of the content and language was very "adult" so you might want to preview it before showing it to your child.

I've seen it. Never showed it to my kids, though. I felt like maybe

they were a little young to watch it. I can't remember why I thought

that, however. It's been a long time since I saw it.
