This is a movie about an autistic young adult who wants to play professional basketball. Since I am slightly autistic myself (I have Asperger's Syndrome), I really found it helpful to me to see how someone else copes with the same kind of problem. It was a little painful though, thinking "oh no, do I actually act that way too?" I was also kind of upset with the situations he was in (I don't want to give it away), and I'm glad I haven't had such a difficult life as he had. I think Mike made some poor decisions in how to handle Eddy's situation, but I don't know what he could have done.
The acting was good, very believable, especially the man who played Eddy. It must be very difficult to play the part of someone whose brain is in a totally different world from most people. A great movie, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is autistic or knows someone who is autistic.
10/10
