A movie in need of major surgery, 6 March 2002
Author: JoeytheBrit from www.moviemoviesite.com

This movie is just plain daft; a patchy mix of "heartwarming" (i.e. cloyingly sentimental) bonding scenes between cured autistic woman Shue and her initially selfish brother Eckhart, poor editing that seems to dispense with whole chunks of plot (after hastily explained and supremely daft 'ground-breaking' neurosurgery, Shue's regression, once it finally begins, is complete within a couple of scenes), and stultifying cliches. Failing completely to engender any emotional involvement in Molly's predicament, which could have been heartbreaking if skilfully handled, the movie shamelessly strives to manipulate the viewer in almost every scene and quickly outstays it's welcome.

Shue's performance is ok, and Eckhart offers solid support, but they're both let down by the material, and before the movie is half over you'll be wondering why they ever made the wretched thing in the first place.
