Drama/Romantic Drama: The Other Sister- 1999


Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis) has an independent streak a mile wide. Trouble is, she's mentally handicapped, and her overprotective parents (Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt) have misgivings about her getting her own apartment and pursuing a relationship with another mentally challenged person (Giovanni Ribisi). An emotional tour de force for Lewis, The Other Sister is ultimately a triumphant story of perseverance in the face of long odds. (Netflix.com)


Grade: A


Ok, so I've seen this movie before, but, that was a WHILE ago, so I thought I'd give it another watch. MAN, for me, this was totally tear-jerktastic! I mean, it so sweet, and cute, and innocent. It's a movie about two mentally challenged people discovering love for the first time. This is just a really cute movie, and REALLY tugs at the heartstrings, that's for sure. And the parts are played wonderfully. If you're interested in watching a tear-jerker, this is definitely one to check out!
