I think this movie (Adam - 2009) would appeal to the hard core romance lovers. It is very sweet and very pretty - the two leads are lovely. The tension comes from Asperger's Syndrome, which Adam has. Beth falls for him against the advice of friends, etc. There is also a pointless subplot regarding Beth's mom and dad (Amy Irving and Peter Gallagher). I really like Amy Irving, so seeing her was a bonus, if unnecessary.
For me, this is one of those films where the dialogue (even by Adam) is just too perfect. Not clever and fun, but just so thoughtful. If you have a 13 year old girl, though, try it out. I was surprised at the ending, which is always nice.
So funny- this is on my list to watch with Madison. Though I think Rob may like it too. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI haven't put anything in your queue lately - I would have put this there. Do you want me to keep adding things?
