I am SO GLAD the critic reviews did not deter me from seeing this wonderful movie. It so deftly combines hilarious comedy with heartfelt true life issues. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. You leave as a better person with a deeper appreciation for the life of a paraplegic as well as the life of a man from a totally different world desperately trying to give the paraplegic a reason to live while making new life choices himself. Based on a true story. Five stars!
