Why the high rating?

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2014)

I think this film is highly OVER-rated simply because it is (supposedly) the story of Stephen Hawking and his wife. Funny, I never knew he was married until this film came out.
I do not intend to take away from the brilliance of the man (I say that only because this is what I have been led to believe), but rather to reiterate the over dramatization that Hollywood thrives on with "true" stories. We all know that a very small percentage of the film could actually be fact.
Give the man his due. Don't make him into some kind of God.
Btw, he is funny on the Big Bang Theory.
