      Audience Member 7 February 2011 An interesting but slow movie about Lou Gehrigs Disease. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member My dad bought this. You can't even call it a story. It isnt even an hour long and all it is is a movie about a stupid girl who is a little disfigured and she keeps have sex with a creepy dude. Not worth watching Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A favorite. This movie is deeply touching.
