Bad acting

I wanted to love this movie based off of the concept. Watching it was so difficult for me... the acting of the lead is sad. Although, I do appreciate the idea of the actor playing himself, I think the film could have benefited from an experienced actor. Writing was eh... but I was distracted by the lack of compassion and honestly pure misery from the lead role. The music was also distracting. I'm not sure who thought the music choices were good but wow. Being handicap myself, I expected so much more from this film. I liked that it wasn't as cliche as most disability films are but the lead just felt like a victim the whole time and it was hard to relate or feel the true emotions from such a lackadaisical character.

a cult item...

For all those born with or developed it and to all those who live , supports and live with it, and the soccalled''it'' isa word for handicapped, merely the physically handicapped in this film, but its a heartbreaking but at the same time a wonderful one too. It shows that life ina wheelchair aint living in dantes hell, and personal relationships aint utopian.Its a film written, directed, produced and soforth by bill copeland, also doing the main role himself, always a tricky thing, and the seriousness stamped in his face on the act do strain him from the beautiful smile i know hes got...its film based a lot on love and relationship, and even though the sexxual action plays a minimal role in this feature film, then the one and only, made a highlight impression to me, wonder if that scene was done spontainous or not, but to hear the female say ''just relax'' wakes memories in the grumpy old mans mind life as virgin.Which leads me to the rest of the cast, the 3 young females, the sister , the girlfriend and the caught up friend, are supercute classic beauties that shouldve been called down after this film. Miss carpanini, as lorraine really hit me with her whatsoever acting, and its a pitty this class actress has a resyme shorter than the bikini line...they say somewhere in the film that dancing to cheesy music isnt alright, and i do agree that the choice of music was extremely americanized tv.pop-music 80 style, and nothing real or feel good songs. But as long as the film works, its still a recommend.
