      [first lines]

      Joey: There are but a handful of individuals in this world whom I would consider to have been touched by whomever does the touching. Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Sir Isaac Newton, and Joseph Patrick Finley, sometimes known as "Cy," after the late, great Cy Young. Who is Joseph Patrick Finley, you wonder, besides the son of Doctors Archibald and Catherine Finley, besides the finest friend a friend could have? Nobody special, at least not in his eyes, which is good in one way and a problem in many others. Suffice it to say, his is a curious case.

    Calm down
    I think this movie was quite good and it was not 'false advertising', it was worthwhile and deals with some realistic issues. I guess some teenagers are over-protected and don't know much about the real world but they can't be sheltered for life, matey. Believe it or not, this happens somewhere.
