In general, movie is OK. It's decently acted, directed, story is OK, deals with real people having real issues.But, even though one of the presumably main "messages" of the movie is that everybody needs a purpose (in life), the movie doesn't seem to have one. Sure, one could argue is that the purpose of the movie is to inform you that everybody needs a purpose... but that's very, very weak.It seems to have a well known problem of first-time directors, especially established actors. Director seems to care more about "not screwing up" and "doing a professional job" (to overcome some objections like "this actress thinks she can direct"), then the movie itself. She just lets the story go its way, but, while such things can work well in books, they rarely work so well in movies.The thing is, by the end the mentally challenged guy hasn't really found a purpose. As his surrogate father points out, going around the bridge trying to find out who wants to jump and prevent them, isn't a real job. Without some support system, he's bound to either screw up (make someone jump who actually didn't really want to) or simply fail and get depressed again, wearing the mascot head for weeks. Maybe Tally could have helped him to find some group that actually provides such a support system - after all, she is Supergirl ;) and San Francisco is a big city. Not sure that 's the best ending to the story, but it's certainly _an_ ending.Bottom line, if you like Jennifer Morrison or some of the actors of this movie, it's an OK watch, sort of like having a chat with some friends. Otherwise, skip this.

This movie can be difficult to watch; you are watching a quirky, obviously mentally challenged guy try to find his way in the world. a good-hearted person knows that everyone is different and unique and beautiful in their own way; of course, that was how I saw him! But that doesn't mean that it isn't normal for someone to want to yell at him for pretending to be someone that he is not. The movie shows the messy, chaotic, disheveled way that things evolve in people's lives-how they affect one another and subtly cause change in the other. Probably a lot of the interactions he had with some people were implausible, but that's what movies are for. Slogging through, he eventually makes it to the purpose in life that can work for him. This movie can be seen as how God's grace works in people's lives, and I enjoyed seeing an example here. Anyway, if you are not good-hearted, you will probably just get frustrated by him as well as the other seeming "losers" around him.

One of those movies that makes you smile.
Give it a go.

It's about ordinary (well, the main character even disadvantaged) good people who just want more out of life.. life's lessons are told the viewers through great simple dialogue, never preaching. it was a great way to start the day for me
