Shameless in its use of mental retardation as a gimmick, a prop and a plot device.
Beautifully acted!
Overly sentimental movie is unlikely to interest teens.

For what is supposed to be a poignant love story, The Other Sister fails to show much spark.
Good acting and even entretaining, but The Other Sister present a strong sentimentalism and an embarrassing way to use the mental problems as a good plot.
