Rented it and watched it yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised as was my DH. I have to admit we were CRACKING up at parts that hit way close to home. I won't give any away though.

The only down part (according to DH and I have to agree) is the acting of the main male character. It was almost too stereotypical and it was the same things over and over again. Too much focus on the number obsession and no eye contact.

However, in his defense, the character was based on Jerry Newport who DH has met in person and seen in conferences on many occasions. He just didn't think the guy did Jerry very well as Jerry has an AWESOME sense of humor at himself. (And his eye contact isn't quite THAT bad, lol)

The female character was great and I hear that it is just like the actual Mary. And I just really adored many of the supporting actors/actresses and thought they did a great job. The story is also really well done and hits the whole adult world of autism pretty well I think.

I have GOT to see this movie! I think I should wait until my sons testing is over tho, it might freak out my DH. He doesn't want to face anything here.... and If I bring up something he gets upset, says I'm not a doctor.

Yes I'm not a doctor dear, but I don't think the doctor would do expensive testing (out of our pocket) if he didn't think there was a need.....

Sigh, I so love my Tony, but he sure frustrates me sometimes.....

Anyway I can't wait to see it!
