This has been one of my favorite movies for many years. It highlights what it is like to be autistic and how that impacts family. The surprise of finding out you have a family member you were unaware of and they had a disability was certainly a challenge to a lead character. Since it was based upon actual circumstances made it believable. I would recommend it to the young adults of today since most have probably not seen it.

I love that this movie is a one of a kind. There has NEVER been another movie that could come close to doing what this movie did for Dustin Hoffman and for Tom Cruise. They each gave stunning performances and it's a good thing that Hoffman was already a well-established actor otherwise he might be deemed a misfit in the acting arena. His performance of an autistic man has got to have been one of the toughest roles he has ever played and he did it so well that I almost got caught up in feeling sorry for him! Tom Cruise took on a role that allowed him to shine as someone who was able to put his way of life on the back burner and to realize that from somewhere deep down inside of him he was able to pull out some compassion for his brother; a brother that could have ruined him socially. This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen and it is one of the limited few that I could watch over and over again. I can literally count on one hand the number of movies that have moved me to the point that I could watch them at least once a month for the rest of my life and Rain Man is in the top 3!Read full review

Whoever paired Cruise and Hoffman knew what they were doing. Good chemistry. Hoffman nails the part. I hope people who watch it have a better understanding of autism - if you look past the handicap, you will find someone worth knowing. The movie does drag along at times, but is well worth watching.
