.
The story of two strangers.
One stranger than the other.
After Adam's (Hugh Dancy) father dies, Adam is alone in the NYC apartment they shared. Adam went to work each day as an electronics engineer for a toy manufacturer, a job his father basically got for him. Adam is a high functioning "Aspy" (Asperger's syndrome) who has limited social skills, an inability to lie or cover up his feelings, and is a savant about outer space and theatre.
When Beth (Rose Byrne), a school teacher, moves into the building, Adam begins flirting with her but fears his own clumsiness and limitations and worries that Beth may not understand. Much to his surprise, Beth responds. This is the story of their journey through friendship and how they learn to overcome the challenges of life together.
Also appearing are Frankie Faison as Harlan, Adam's father's friend who becomes Adam's mentor; Mark Linn-Baker as Adam's boss; Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Beth's parents.
Directed by Max Mayer.
Run time: 1 hour, 35 minutes
Rated: PG-13
My personal rating: B+
