This is the infamous movie that began a pause in the "Saturday Night Jive" podcast many months ago, and now you can hear George and Ben try and make sense of this 1999 Gary Marshall romantic drama that asks the question, "Can two mentally impaired adults fall in love and live on their own?" The obvious cringe factor is addressed as well as points of controversy as how the movie deals with its representation of its characters, their conditions, and the impact it places on their middle class families.
