At first I was a little ambivalent about this movie. While watching it (about an hour in), my husband said "Can we turn this off?" Parts of the movie were awkward and a little difficult to watch. However, there were several times I laughed out loud and really enjoyed the scenes. I especially loved the bachelorette party with the stripper. It was hilarious. I also really started to care about the characters; especially Dina. Dina is so open and honest and genuine that it is very easy to care about her. I thought that in real life we could be friends. The 911 call towards the end was very moving. Movies that mean the most to me are the ones I can't stop thinking about after they are over. I felt that way with this movie. I wanted to know MORE about Dina and was sorry the movie had ended. I wanted to keep up with her life and join in the conversations with her and Scott - ie talks about Hilary versus Trump and the election. Ha! I loved this movie. I love that it made me THINK About Aspberger's and autism, but it wasn't overly sympathetic - just genuine and real and thought provoking. I think people will either love or hate this movie, but that most will be moved and changed for the better.
