Inspirational. Can anyone really hate this story? Puts a lot of things into perspective.
Still, it feels like a movie-of-the-week. A good movie-of-the-week but a movie-of-the-week nevertheless. Good acting all around. Worth seeing.
By not delving into the more dramatic aspects of the story (the anguish, the parents' guilt, the hardship of dealing with the disability), it robs the viewer somewhat. I understand that's not the film's intent - the story is one of inspiration - but it would've made the viewer much more sympathetic because I'm sure 90% of the audience would've reacted in a much more negative fashion if this happened to them.
But again, the film leaves behind an important message and makes you see things differently. Any film capable of that is good.
