The Other Sister Reviews
I loved it! If you're a born romantic and you love to watch people fall in love, even if it's just a movie, you will too. Juliette and Giovanni are amazing!
yikes, captain arthur dallas fathered a handicapped daughter and it's all downhill from there. geoffrey lewis' daughter is a real life cretin and michael corleones wife is the mother. don't watch brain damaged movies......EVER!!!
The Other Sister is a really good movie. It’s been one of my favorites for a long time. I always get emotional watching Daniel and Carla’s love story. It’s hard for parents to let their children grow up, and it’s even harder when that child is autistic. I’m currently watching it while writing this review in 2024!
I liked their chemistry. Everyone needs some silliness in their life, it brings adventure
Great movie!! Good depiction of others that are so often overlooked!
I thought it was really cute! I literally held it the whole time I watched it. I don't get why it bombed but I and my class liked it.
Really dull and the performances border on annoying.
I am reviewing the Diane Keaton/Juliette Lewis movie. Clicking on it misdirects you to this.
I loved it. but the Mother is a complete uptight selfish toad. who only cares about money and herself.
Sadly the derogatory prejudice and disgraceful discrimination comes from the so called 'pro' critics with negative reviews based on perception of presence of mentally challenged leads. This is nor an attempt at comedy about mentally challenged people. It is exactly the same as endless other tales of a Strong Independent male brings shy over protected girl out from the castle. The actions of the characters are not funny, they are the actions of two 'individuals'; consistent with characteristic of their personalities. Daniel a boy with a family that doesn't care about him; thrown out on his own. An individual fights for his dignity creating a presence with friends activity and even [jobs]. Strong enough to not react too much to the teasing. He has a life sees making mistakes (wrong bus) and tackling challenges as part of growing. Carla a girl that struggles for independence from a mother that cares too much. Leaving her feeling as someone with no dignity treated as incapable and useless. Living in fear with perception of expectation to Perfection in life; afraid the affect of mistakes. Very fearful and reactive to actions of others. Is simply a lovable story of no different that we all would experience life. Boy (strong independent) Meets Girl (Shy Nervous Fearful) Boy teaches her to make mistakes, freedom, knowledge and shares experiences. "Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie" "Which one is more human" "There's a thought, now you decide" Lastly if you don't know how to do something, where do you look? Ask Friends, Family Making mistakes In a book - a Cook Book, For Dummies .. Book, National Geographic Why do the pathetic reviewers lack simple empathy to understand the two individuals are inexperienced, one fears Mistakes they don't know how to do something that the logical place to check is in a 'BOOK'. Why would anyone perceive that as funny? It is factual and sweet
Fantastic heart felt movie. A true depiction of the challenges of families who have a special needs child, who in turn desires to be treated as normal as possible. A must see movie for all
It was cute. and i thought it was a bit over dramatic but an over all good slice of life. however it did run a bit too long
Very touching presentation of challenged people being seen for their real value, sense of justice and ability to love. Too bad the homosexual angle is introduced to try to equate the two, something intelligent people will see through right away.
The Other Sister is a disappointing film. It is about a mentally challenged girl who proves herself to be every bit as capable as her "perfect" sister. Juliette Lewis and Diane Keaton give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Garry Marshall did a terrible directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
It is very hard to decide if Giovanni Ribisi and Juliette Lewis are giving impressive performances or making fun of the mentally challenged. Either way, the whole movie feels like more of a parody than a well-intended family drama.
An utterly disrespectful, maudlin, self-congradulatory travesty. Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi try to pull a Forrest Gump, and end up with something along the lines of a famous quote from "Tropic Thunder". It's as if they both were going for their Oscar moment. It's pathetic to watch. It's all at the expense of the disabled, and not a damn inch of this movie gives them any sympathy.
