    5 plus stars. Shia deserves an academy award for his role....so genuine, believable. The morals he has and ethics are so warm, welcoming, truly felt...something tells me this is how he believes n lives his love....superb performance. And all the supporting casts, right up there. A beautifully told story about life. I never wanted to see a movie a second time as quick as this...hope to go again w others to share this heartwarming experience. Great movie for all ages, good lesson on how to live life.

    I most liked the authenticity of contemporary rural life from the Eastern Shore all the way down through the Outer Banks. Cinematography was stunning, a major factor for me. The portrayal of the Downs Syndrome adult by a Downs Syndrome adult was, of course, flawless. This is a movie where raucous laughter erupts in the theater over and over, while the feel-good ambiance is punctuated over and again with tears, or a lump forming in your throat. No sex. No nudity. No gore or death scenes.

    Shades of Rain Man, Lord of the flies, Huck Finn, and even a little Rocky at the end. The plot ambles along ok but never really gets interesting until the final 15 min or so. Just missed being a contender.

    Five stars hands down. Actors, accents, backgrounds were perfectly natural and this just seemed to be sooo realistic. Simply loved every minute.

    A love story that doesn't quite make it. A young widow social worker falls in love with a 'good' bad boy while trying to 'retrieve' a down syndrome young man who has escaped for his nursing home 'prison.' I like happy endings and in this one, they all three cross over the line into the great state of Florida and live happily-ever-after. My problem is that I'm tired of violence--guns, revenge, and getting hit over the head with a tire iron for example. Can, for once, tone it down and make a love movie--A love movie. Definitely worth seeing.

    Wonderfully entertaining movie, with optimistic and engaging story and characters, fine acting, beautiful cinematography, action, adventure, humanity, relationships, and humor, all artfully and warmly interwoven. Saw it at SXSW film festival in March - a real audience pleaser with standing ovations. Fun to watch in a theaters with others as sensing their reactions to the human interplay and humor makes it feel like a shared experience.
