"Special Needs" is socially relevant against the backdrop of today's exploitation driven entertainment industry. How bold to make a film that involves one of the remaining few truly taboo subjects. Disabilities are universal. If every color, creed and sex has been subject to exploitation, why have we not yet touched disabled persons? This film humanizes the disabled, while dehumanizing the entertainment industry "powers that be." This film had me laughing out loud and pausing to try to understand why. Absurd situations and outrageous caricatures make for a cult-worthy comedy that is as deeply serious as it is funny. I would recommend this film both to those who want a mindless comedy and those who would like to be affected. This will turn the gears in your head and tickle your funny-bone on multiple levels.
