To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This show is fantastic. Not only is it hilarious but there's so many good lessons taught. The show is about a family of 5 and dealing with the everyday problems that they and more specifically their son JJ who has cerebral palsy. In the pilot episode the family is moving to a new school and everyone is trying to adjust to the house and school. Throughout the show the family has to deal with people who don't know how to treat the son. The mother is a fighter and will pick a fight with anyone and everyone who disrespects the family. She stands up to the school and makes sure she gets the best she can for her children. They always have each others backs no matter what and every problem they encounter, they always come through and help. They show how some people don't know how to react when they encounter a person with a disability. When JJ walks into class everyone applauds him, says he's such an inspiration and votes him for president. Also his teacher doesn't know how to correctly speak to him and mentions his disability and makes an awkward moment. She family does a great job of correcting people who say or do the wrong things and shows how he should be treated. This is definitely a must watch series. Between all the laughs and real life problems they go through it just makes it hard not to keep watching. It is a great show to make yourself laugh and to learn a few things and better your disability etiquette. Watch and enjoy!!!!

I love Speechless the only show I look forward to every week! Best show on TV! Must see for everyone! I love the episode where they go on a road trip hilarious when Ray (Mason Cook) plans behind their backs and Dylan (Kyla Kenedy) says "I am my curly haired mother's daughter"! This show literally makes me laugh out loud!

When first hearing that the show was about the family of a boy with cerebral palsy, the automatic response is to expect the mood of the show to be sad and/or heartbreaking. However, I found the upbeat and partly comical mood of the show to be a refreshing outlook on disability. It starts out with a seemingly "normal" family driving to get half priced breakfast before their coupon expires. When they arrive at their destination, they park in a handicapped spot without any indication on their vehicle of the necessity for use of the spot. Immediately, an older woman makes a comment about how it is unfair they use the spot, and complains about the problems she has with walking. Rather than speaking a response, the family instead opens the back door of the car, lowers the ramp, and lowers down the wheelchair of their son JJ who has cerebral palsy (immediately shutting up the older woman). This beginning scene then sets the context in which disability will be portrayed throughout the remainder of the show- light heatedly with a twinge of comic relief on a topic that makes so many people uncomfortable. Throughout the rest of the episode, the characters in the show portray the actual normalcy of disability, and how, even though it makes so many people uncomfortable (i.e. when JJ goes into his classroom for the first time and gets a standing ovation from peers he has never met before), we all need to remember that just because someone has a disability that it does not make them abnormal. The show does a great job portraying this message to its viewers. One of the most comical aspects of the show is the reactions JJ's family (as well as JJ himself) has to people' extreme kindness in reaction to his disability. The entire family find people's reactions to be absurd, and goes as far at times to mock those who treat JJ any differently. I recommend this show not only to those who know someone with disability (or has a disability themselves) but also anyone in need of some comic relief surrounding a topic that makes so many uncomfortable.

Witty script clever acting brilliant story line with real people who have faults and wonderfully different ideas. I love it.He has used some amazing plays on being British, being disabled, feeling guilty about all sorts of things along with what life is like for families and children in a family with a differently abled child.A fabulous breath of fresh air. Well done for staying away from the ppr me routine (except when it is useful as a way of getting something).It is fantastic to have a person with cerebral palsy playing a person with cerebral palsy. We kiwis are used to it we have a stand up comic Thane Pullan so it is fantastic to see more people doing this.Minnie Driver is amazing, Micah is inspiring, the rest of the family are wonderfully dysfunctional. Please give us more like this.My favourite line is the Dad "I am the slowest person to guess what you are saying aren't I?" - it comes in a father-son chat. It is such an amazing self aware moment it is great.
