nigra319 Having seen "Adam" just last night, I can say that it is one of the most touching romantic comedies.I really like Adam.It was very nice to see his battle in all of these people who he couldn't understand their words or behaviors because of Asperger's Syndrome. Also his relationship with Beth.I was really irritated because of Beth didn't go with Adam and leaved him alone.I wanted to scold her. (Come on he is in love with her!)Just i expected to their come together and end movie with happy ending.Anyway it finished with happy ending in different way.

vivalareaganrevoluti-306-1921 Spoiler Alert. The movie is well written until the last 1/4. It becomes predictable and unoriginal, it neglects to take the movie as far as it should go almost as a means of protecting the hearts of the audience. For the movie to receive a rating higher than a 6 and be deemed a classic, Adam has to die. If he did the movie would be on par with other screenplay masterpieces, but because he doesn't it becomes nothing more than just another decent movie. Don't get me wrong the movie was enjoyable, but the ending just left me slightly upset that Mayer wasn't capable of fully weaving greatness into the conclusion. I recommend the movie, but just don't get your hopes up to be amazed by the ending, because it will let you down.

chann94501 So the dude has Aspergers. Great. So Aspergers is an autism spectrum disorder and what they have chosen to portray is someone a lot closer to autistic. The average Aspergian is just about like anyone else. Like me. Like about fifty out of the two hundred people in my tech company. Like most of the people in technical roles in Microsoft, Google, Intel and many other high end companies. So how sad he has Aspergers. So, he's probably going to have a decent and well paid job but he's likely to prefer fixing his car to fixing his relationship.So when are they going to make movies about women with BPD? Women are much more likely to have BPD in the same way that men are more likely to have Aspergers. I've dealt with both, I'd rather someone was technical and a bit distant than evil.The rest of the movie? I was too angry to notice.

jimvalko Watching Adam was frustrating for me. It was a "love story" without love. Because Adam had Aspergers syndrome he really couldn't be close to anyone. So you had the odd circumstance of his neighbor, Beth, falling for Adam but Adam not really being able to respond back in a... well... a normal loving way. It was kinda of like watching someone fall in love with an animal. You think the animal loves them back but in the end you find out the thing just isn't capable of doing so. I was left wanting something that couldn't be.On the positive side the performances were fine all the way around. But for me fine performances don't totality make up for a film that I cannot relate to. I couldn't relate because Adam couldn't relate to people around him.
