Notes
First viewed on NetFlix. As a grumpy old man, I found the film a bit sophomoric, manipulative, and predictable. If the intent was to appeal to high school age youth, it probably succeeded. The producers should be applauded for their exploration of Asperger Syndrome -- and for a new twist to a gay-coming-out-story. In the end, I decided that the film had sufficient redeeming qualities for it to be purchased for my private collection. (Better than some that were recommended and purchased without preview.)
