This is one of the best "high School" films I have seen. There is a reality in the script in the acting that resonates well with my time during the time portrayed (2001) that rarely is seen. Yes Reggis seems over the top, but kids on the spectrum are like that, enthused beyond control over random subjects and it is scary to find that your liberal ideas are misconstrued and that you may be blind to the conditions of others. Holding hands in circles may be cliched , but I have seen similar things in real life. I especially liked how the two young women worked together and then apart when reality hit, but then the insensitive boy made the pain real for Jamie as well.
It is short, sweet and revalvant. Give it a try (and a better rating) it really is better than the numbers.
