When You Remember Me

Fred Savage puts across a brilliant performance in the heart-warming film, showing that there is more to him than 'The Wonder Years'. I was surprised that this film was only made TV because it is a lot better than a lot of the things that get released at the cinema. I suggest you look out for it in the future on Channel 4 or Film Four in the U.K. because it is definitely worth watching.

It really wasn't all that bad, no it wasn't Emmy material either, but we can deal.

The main reason to watch this made for TV movie is the acting. Kevin Spacey is great as always, and Fred Savage actually gets a chance to act without a hovering voice butting in.

despite being a little depressing at times, it is overall pretty worthwhile. One of the major flaws I noticed though was that even though this poor kid is enduring these horrible things in this nursing home, you have to wonder, Were is this boy's mother?!?!?! I was really hoping the aid, Wade (Kevin Spacey) would adopt the poor kid and make his short life better. But don't worry, he does come to the rescue in the end.

Go for it...you may be surprised.

Most of the other 'comments' I have read missed the point of the movie. One person had the nerve to refer to the lead charachtor as arrogant. My friend, that was hope.

I am a person who has lived through this most devastating of disorders, both brothers had Duchenne muscular dystrophy and are now dead. 'When You Remember Me' captures the soul of a person with DMD in that nomatter what happens, make the best of it. No matter what a person may appear to be/have(disability/color of skin/sex, illness) look at the person inside.

This movie is both insperational and depressing. It must be noted that this is a true story (dramatised) and that people live this every day.

Fred Savage (The Wonder Years) proves that he has capabilities way beyond what anybody would have expected of him. Playing the role of the disabled teenager in the true story could not have been easy, but he does so very convincingly. This film really makes you think about the conditions in homes for the disabled, and wonder how far the truth goes...

Although not the best film ever made, Fred Savage's portrayal as a kid with muscular dystrophy alone is reason to watch this film.

It is very much like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, with the same forceful style nurse, and one patient (Mike Mills) who knows the real medicine the patients need. A great film
