nemman63 Ok, so the male lead became infatuated with a sweet young and naïve girl who sees good in him, basically because she doesn't know any better after being locked away first in her Mother's house, and then in a mental institute.Call me old fashioned, but I would have liked to have seen some signs of growth in him, but there really was none. I don't consider him continuing to game the system so he can be with his GF as any kind of growth.Not even an apology to his parents, especially his dad. Am I suppose to believe that when the newness and excitement wears off in this new relationship, he won't go back to his ways with strippers and gambling? Why? Sure, playing the white knight to a troubled girl is fun at first, but it won't be long when he has to put on his big boy pants and actually take care of another adult human being. What fun is that to a guy like this?She is basically a child in a woman's body, and I don't want to think too much on that because then the movie takes on a really creepy vibe. But her being like this makes his irresponsibility seem fun and exciting; an adventure that she wants to go on forever and ever! He is basically the parent who will let her eat candy and junk, skip all responsibility and just do whatever seems fun every day, and if his dad doesn't want to pay for that, well then we can always just steal from him! People are who they are until they prove otherwise. I see a world of hurt in her future with him.It wasn't a bad movie though, and I enjoyed some of it. I just felt let down when it was done.

seronjaa-797-313124 When I read, that the movie is about a mental patient, I thought it would be a lot more serious and difficult to watch. But instead we got a feel good butterfly romance with road trip and happy end. As a romantic comedy, it's really heartwarming and relaxing. But the way mental patients are portrayed is nowhere near reality. Even if she isn't schizophrenic and has just some post-traumatic stress, I don't think she would behave like a new born puppy all the time. Besieds that, the whole movie was very enjoyable to watch and I would probably watch the original German version, too. The plot idea is more original than from most other romantic movies, so that's something.

Pooja DM The movie starts off simple (no beating around the bush and stretching the story; it is straight to the point) with Jay (Scott Speedman) who is a janitor in a psychiatric hospital. Jay owes a lot of people money and is actually on probation for the janitor job. He likes to spend some of his time with some of the patients. But the psychiatrist does not approve of this as Jay usually provides them with porn materials and booze. Anyway, one night, he saves Daisy (Evan Rachel Wood), a newly admitted patient in the psychiatric hospital, from getting raped. From that point, Daisy follows Jay as she does not want to stay at the hospital. As the story unfolds, we learn that Daisy has never stepped out of her house her entire life when her mother was alive. She is different and her sense of communication is different as well. Daisy is naive and we even see her lack of awareness of social rules but her character is nevertheless charming and will warm your heart as she is innocent and genuine in her own way. Jay takes Daisy home for his brother's wedding. Things soon get messy as Jay's parents find out about the real identity of Daisy. This movie was heart warming and different. Evan Rachel Wood portrayed the character of Daisy so well. The way she acted confused in pure innocence and the way she responded to the environment around her was amazing. She played her role really well. Loved it!

stills-6 Don't look too deeply. This is a movie that wants to be fun and adventurous and a little bit dangerous. If you're in the right mood, you don't need much more than that. Sure it's ridiculous and implausible and poorly edited, and Scott Speedman only has two gears, and the writing is a little off, and the central relationship is a little creepy on several different levels. No matter. This is one of those movies that is touched by the magic of the movies -- maybe not enough to make it great or even good as a movie, but it has a relentless sparkle-eyed charm that makes it pleasant and irrationally satisfying as an experience.
