I had the opportunity to watch this at the Sundance Film Festival and to meet the director and the star of the show. I didn't think it was too bad. It was definitely a feel good movie. I think overall it was good, but I have one thing wrong with it. Movies never showcase school correctly. In this film, all the kids are completely rude to her and don't respect her at all. And maybe it's just the school I go to, but that's not the. Case at all. We still respect the disabled. They are still people. I just felt like this movie didn't capture school realistically. But also these kind of movies are really just there to guilt you into liking it. Not saying this movie was bad, because it wasn't, but it's basically saying, if you don't like this movie, you don't support people suffering from cerebral palsy. Again, not saying this movie WASNT good, it was, but it does guilt trip you a little bit.
But that's about it. I'd give it a solid 7/10. I also never read the book, so that's another factor for someone else on here to cover.
