Did I miss something?

Rating: 4/10 (17 August 2000)

I don't get it. I rented the movie because it was supposed to be great. It was at best mediocre. Did it just appeal to people because they think they are really smart and have never expressed themselves, so they identify with some character who has an inherent knowledge of differential equations and sociology. Nothing was believable in this movie: the love, the pain, the character, or the premise. Ben Affleck's character was the only redeeming quality in the movie. Robin Williams did his worst acting job since Mork and Mindy. It was just a movie about a boy who lacked complexity and was "wicked smart".
