Ironically, he's exactly like Special People itself, which is trying so hard to say something profound about disability that it has forgotten to be a drama in the first place.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 21, 2008

At times Special People feels hobbled by the very political correctness it wants to poke fun at; still, it's nicely observed and crisply played, gently confounding a gaggle of prejudices during the course of a svelte 81-minute run.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2008

Well-meant but gruel-thin British comedy in which a failed film-maker helps wheelchair-bound teenagers to make a movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2008

We are allowed to forget the wheelchairs and see the people in them, while still remembering the prejudices many have about the disabled.
