Another good little drama from WonderWorks
Varlaam12 November 1998
A story about the onset of schizophrenia in a teenager and the impact on his sister.

Patricia Arquette gives a fine performance, by far the best from her that I've ever seen. She's so animated! So what happened to her? Beginner's luck this time out? Did she later on just get really self-conscious about her crooked teeth? Anyway, she's not a liability here by any means, far from it.

An added plus: The other kids at school are given more detail and definition than was absolutely required by the family-centred story.

It will make *YOU* crazy
crazy5524 April 1999
This was the absolute worst movie ever, so it was delicious to watch. Don't expect a beginning or an end--the middle is all you get. Don't count on any character development or resolution. Nope. Please watch this with a group so you can mock it together. Practice saying "I am the girl with the crazy brother" and you'll be ready. It's worth a watch for a bundle of laughs, but you'll leave saying, Diane Keaton, what have you done?!?
