Review of Special (2006) by Anthony T — 09 Apr 2009
A+ for the premise here... C for the execution. Michael Rapaport as others have mentioned; is amazing here... this really is the best performance I've ever seen him in. The movie itself really is good; it's entertaining and heartfelt throughout; but at the same time I just felt like it was missing something.
Maybe its the very short running time; but I just felt like there should have been more film here... I kept thinking of scenes that could have been done differently by simply expanding on the idea already present, or just by making it longer.
I mention these gripes though, because I really did love the premise and the film as a whole; it just didn't swing for the fences quite as much as it could have. Still... its very watchable and I recommend it.
3.75/5 stars.
