Adam

Allegedly we are all supposed to learn something from every relationship we have. This movie is about learning from relationships. Actually it's more about 2 odd people working at making a relationship succeed, but in the end, each has learned from the journey.

We should be so clever and fortunate to learn so much so well from our relationships.

Hugh Dancy plays a young electronics engineer suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. He meets and falls for only-child-syndrome sufferer, Rose Byrne. The two strangers become neighbors, then lovers, then friends. Each is better for the experience but each hurts as well.

As Indie romantic dramas go, this sets the bar very high. There is a wide range of emotions for both characters and audience. The supporting cast is totally believable and easy to relate to.

Peter Gallagher plays the girl's gregarious father. Amy Irving the faithful mom. My favorite however is the Frankie Faison character. I've liked Faison's work since his very funny performance in the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.

Watch this movie with someone who really really likes mac and cheese.
