A Under Rated Film...

Garry Marshall makes genuine cinema in 'The Other Sister', it's a romantically challenged film with love that works big time.A young mentally disabled woman named Carla Tate falls in love with A young man named Daniel McMahon, also slightly mentally disabled. Will they live happily happy ever after? 'The Other Sister' is a simple story, that has complicated characters. The film was not a box office hit and was critically panned, and was un-mentioned in 1999. However, 'The Other Sister' carries a 6.6 rating at IMDb today, with much favorable reviews. I loved the film, it's a fascinating love-story!Marshall's direction is neat, Music by Kyle Vincent is fantastic. In the acting department, It's a shame to know that Juliette Lewis was nominated for a Razzie for her earnest performance in here. Lewis is a terrific actress! Giovanni Ribisi steals the show with a excellent performance. Diane Keaton is efficient. Tom Skerritt is likable.On the whole, 'The Other Sister' is a gem. Watch this film, don't avoid it due to some Roger Ebert!
