“I do not often see such an honest portrayal of a physically challenged person on screen. Having a son about the same age as Nate, made this hard to watch! The story is often sad but also frequently humorous and at times I even felt angry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is solid. Charlie Rowe did an amazing job with both the physical and emotional requirements of playing a young man in the prime of his life who suddenly finds himself unable to use his arms and legs and dependent on others for his daily existents.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMarsha Gay Harden was believable as the strong Mama bear determined to advocate for her son. And Diane Ladd was precious as the feisty Granny – she had some of the best lines in the film!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI appreciate that they kept this film u0026quot;family friendlyu0026quot; because I think the message is important for tweens as well as adults.”
