Really Surprised!

As Good As It Gets

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I am 13 years old and I have a 14 year-old autistic brother. He acts just like the twins, so if some of yall don't think what autism is like, maybe you just don't understand it! But I help at a softball league for kids with disabilities and with my brother's class at school. My brother was almost death also, but when he was 3 he had surgery to help with his left ear. But anyway, this exactly what my brother is like, and throwing tantrums and hand flapping, eye blinking, putting things in order or in a line, is perfectly normal, my brother has done all of that. My sister and I always go to the same school with him so if he starts s tantrum we can be there to calm him down.

I thought that this movie was awesome!! I have an autistic seven year old, and he is also in regular ed. It was a struggle to get him there.I feel the actors portrayal of autism was right on target. My son is high functioning so there were some behaviors that I myself have never delt with. But I know many families with children on all ends of the spectrum and I have seen those behaviors.I love that the ultimate goal for The Miracle Run foundation is to find a cure for autism. She understands that even though her sons have made great strides, they are still held back by their autism. While there is no cure right now, there are many people who have made a full recovery from autism and are considered no longer on the spectrum. Never think that these kids have gone as far as they can go. Thank you for bringing these important issues to light. Great movie!

This movie is amazing...I watched it and cried my eyes out! It is so good! The scenes where Mary-Louise Parker is sitting there eating pizza with the boys and Steven finally talks and says pizza...I lost it...it was so sweet! Zac Efron did an AMAZING job as Steven! He really is a very talented actor...he goes all out...and he is so cute! This movie is AMAZING!!! I really can't say it enough! More people should see this movie!!! Aidan Quinn also did an awesome job playing Doug! He was so sweet and cute with the boys! It is such an inspirational story! The family worked so hard to make it through their lives and they made it! Corrine did everything for her sons...she did more than a lot of mothers could handle, but she did it...and she did it no matter what! She's a lot like my mother...she would do anything for her kids! This movie really is a MUST see!

I am also a parent of an autistic child. This movie touched my heart, and filled me with hope for my already talented boy. In some scenes, of the movie, I could relate with everything that was happening ...from the overwhelming start, when the mother finds out the diagnosis, to the inspirational ending, when the boys focus on their talents and overcome their obstacles..my little guy is 6 yrs. old , but is already a runner at his school. he takes pride in all his school work. This movie is great. The actors in this movie did a very good job. especially the children and teenagers who played Steven and Phillip. Kudos to Lifetime Television for airing such an inspirational movie.
