Left me wanting more..., 9 October 2006
10/10
Author: Eric C from United States

Talk about non-stop hilarity from beginning to end. "Special Needs" had me in stitches! And what a fast ride! At the end of the movie I found myself wanting for more.

Yes, the subject matter is indeed dark and disturbing but daring, original, genius, and really funny. The entire cast exudes nothing but real talent. The "special" cast members are just that absolutely brilliant! The chemistry among the entire cast clicked perfectly.

I must be honest, there were times throughout the movie where I wasn't sure whether to laugh out loud or try and restrain myself. I said "try". I knew I couldn't and would quickly give in reminding myself after all that the movie is a satire.
