This movie brought me to tears and made me laugh in equal doses. A beautiful portrayal of a mother seeking out answers and advocating for her son. I love that this movie shows an intimate look at the family life and doesn't shy away from the joy or the hardships.
My favorite scene is when Evan is reading the book about his father. I really felt like I got to know Evan throughout this film and he seems like a wonderful guy. I hope that everyone will see this movie because I think everyone will be better for seeing it.
Also, I cracked up when it is revealed WHY the film is called You Have No Idea. I'm not going to spoil it, you have to see for yourself.

You Have No Idea is one of the best and sweetest movies I've ever watched! It was heartwarming, educational, and really drew you in from the moment it began. I would watch this movie over and over if I could. Beth is an amazing mother to Evan and that's so clearly seen throughout the film. Being from El Dorado, I can easily say that there is a community there like no other, and it's so heartwarming to see the community that is surrounding Evan and the James family. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning more about Autism or just to anyone wanting to watch a good heartwarming movie!!
Wow!! What an incredible story that shows the power of community and serves as a reminder that different does not mean broken. Both touching and humorous, I loved every minute of seeing the world through Evan's eyes.
This film will bring the tears but you still cannot escape Evan's contagious joyous energy. It leaves you feeling a sense of hope knowing there are bright stars in the world like Beth and Evan. I feel empowered to be an advocate for those that need a voice, to be more aware that every one has their own daily battles, and to offer more patience and understanding to everyone I encounter.

You Have No Idea is a heartwarming, thoughtful and candid look inside the day-to-day challenges, struggles, and joys of raising a child with autism, during a time when precious little was known about it, and the continued and necessary love, care and commitment when that child grows into an adult that depends on those things.
Beth's determination to prepare Evan for his best life is inspiring, and I was moved by the friends and family that gathered around them to create a "village" to support them in that endeavor.
I really enjoyed seeing the interactions between Paul and Beth's blended family, the honest assessments from family and friends, the video clips of everyday moments, and the obvious love they have for Evan and each other.
You Have No Idea is educational, moving, and a joy to experience. Enthusiastically recommended!

This is more than a heartwarming tale of a mother's love, it depicts one woman's journey to provide for her child. His needs were unique and her energy knew no bounds. She created a community for herself and for her son, his enthusiasm enriching all he meets! Its emphasis on this community showcases how we need each other, each of us.
This story is about family, in its broadest definition, the people who care, love, pitch in, and help each of of us become a better person! I enjoyed watching this family grow in every sense, This movie allows in into the intimate moments, and I thank them for letting us in!
