You won't be disappointed!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I remembered watching this movie as a kid. It was one of those movies that I could never forget. Watching it, I was utterly surprised by the kid from "Even Stevens" (Shia LaBeouf). He was such a goof ball in that show, and then I saw this, and Wham! His performance was so moving and heart wrenching, and amazing. This movie was so good. I just finished watching it again, I hadn't seen it since it first came out in 2002. Now, as an adult, I can understand the characters more. I wanted to just take the ignorant characters and sock them in the face for not realizing how dumb they really were. Most Disney films just scratch the surface of human stories and emotions. This gem of a movie went beyond what I would expect for a TV movie, let alone Disney.

Funniest movie! Watching Shia run and act like a retard made my day. My favorite part is when he's doing his retard paparazzi thing ! But the real laughter is when they spit on his hat! i'm going to pee in my pants of laughter right now but if you want to see one of the funniest acting ever created watch this movie. Retards man!This movie thankfully isn't sad, after I saw I went out with my friends and I made the whole table laugh, that is why I have a girlfriend now. This movie is one of my favorite comedies. If your one of those girly men who get sad then go away but for the people who love to laugh and make fun of people worse off than you are then see this film. GOD! you don't know how funny it is until you actually see it. EEEEEEEuuuu! Retard! HAHA!

OMG OMG .. ITS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER FROM NOW ON... i watched it when it premiered and now i've been thinking of it. i want the book and i want to find a DVD of it. I MUST SEE IT AGAIN! I love the fact that "Even Stevens"'s Shia Lebeof Plays such a dramatic role when normally he plays a comical role. And i love things relating to subjects that have to do with the mind and how it works. My favorite part made me cry... the part where Eddie was flying the kite and it didn't work so he said it must be retarded. It was like he was alluding to himself. Oh yeah the book was good too even though i hadn't read it. Could someone out there please help me find a DVD of the movie. please, and thank you.

Clara Bryant plays Trudy Walker, a self-absorbed teen with a twin brother Eddie, who is mentally handicapped, likely a form of autism, though it wasn't discussed. Eddie, played by Shia LaBeouf (Even Stevens), is a very kind and tender young person who lives life very simply. His heart is full of love. Trudy struggles to be understood as the stressed-out teen that she is. Eddie's father struggles with his work as a brain surgeon and with his outrageous temper problem. The mother struggles with maintaining a healthy and balanced household, which is not easy with Tru going through her drama-queen years.This is the most emotional movie dealing with the subject of the mentally handicapped that I've ever seen. As someone with a friend who has such disabilities, I can say that I never knew the half of what it really is like. Should you ever be so blessed as to make a friend with autism or similar handicap, you will see that this movie speaks a lot to those closest to the autistic in so many special ways. It also opens your heart to new levels of tenderness and compassion, and your life will never be the same again. I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars.
