Jacob B @JB3.0 5 days ago Ah, Hallmark crap. Where you'll find something like this that apparently fabricates a narrative that's based on true events just so that we can have a "We have Rain Man at home" type movie. Truly something that could only exist before 2008 when that party pooper Ben Stiller ruined everything with Tropic Thunder. With Rosie O'Donnell's grating performance that feels more like a parody of a special needs character, neurotypical characters that aren't too likeable either, cloying sentimentality and, as mentioned earlier, manipulative artistic licence with real life such as the death of a father who was still alive and well when this movie came out, Riding the Bus With My Sister is definitely a "so bad, it's good" movie that, as pointed out by some guy on YouTube, demonstrates that we don't need AI to make crap like this that serves as one heck of an unintentional parody of movies like this.

Different is good See more Dec 6, 2020 This is an excellent movie, mostly due to Rosie O'Donnell's performance. It's funny, sad and very touching. I liked Andie MacDowell as the sister, but I didn't care for her character much. Becuase I work in the transportation field and deal a lot with clients who ride paratransit vans, I found this movie very engaging.

See more Mar 29, 2015 This could have been so much better. Rosie o'Donnell was great in her role, but the rest of the cast was lacking. See more Jan 23, 2015 OMG. I watched this movie like 5 or 7 times. See more Read all reviews
