Please don't spend money on this.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Excellent work, Props the the actors!!! I have 15 years of experience working with mentally handicapped, the acting was great and portrayed the difficulties of my individuals so well. I am a Therapeutic Consultant and I love it. I work with two married couples and see the struggles similar to this movie. My heart goes out to the Thornton family. I love each and every one of the folks I work with, many of which were "de-institutionalized" in the 1980's and had so many challenges to overcome. They have lost track of biological families and often times all they have is us, their staff. I am very much an advocate for them to make their own choices and I will utilize this movie in training new staff. I would absolutely love to hear the couple speak and meet them. What an inspiration to my friends with the same challenges.

At the age of eight Donna Selby (Bouffard) was sent to live at Forest Haven a home for the mentally challenged a place with children of different levels. There she meets fellow resident Ricardo Thornton (Wilson) they form an amazing bond of friendship, years later when Forest Haven is closed down Donna (Alley) & Ricardo (Lindo) find themselves faced with difficult challenges . Tasks such as cooking, cleaning, shopping , working and living on their own is tough but they manage to do well their friendship turns into love soon enough Ricardo asks Donna to marry him. They face social services who don't think that retarded people should get married their social worker Charlotte (Dunsmore) helps them out and eventually Donna & Ricardo exchange vows and rings. If getting married was hard enough they decide to have a baby, months later their son Ricky is born now they raise their son in a world full of struggle but through it all their love keeps them together. 8/10 Stars

This movie blows. Kristie Alley has reached an all-time low in her career as a "movie star." I'm not saying the story was stupid; it was the acting that sucked. I mean, come on; seriously...how long did it take them to film this movie; 2 weeks? This movie is "Profoundly STUPID!!!"

Profoundly Normal is profoundly moving... It is well rounded, I laughed, cried and got very disturbed at times. This story of a couple who just happen to be "retarded" and in love is beautiful. The story covers the lives of both Donna and Ricardo from about the ages of 10 until the present. Sharing their lives, their triumphs and their heartaches, in the institution where they met and out in the world. This is a must see for anyone who has a heart, even one 2 sizes too small, it will grow.
