A different way of telling a story

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Riding the Bus with My Sister fails at a moral that can be taught within 30 minutes. Not only does this movie fail as a film but as a political statement as well. I don't think it's much of a secret that this movie is about society not accepting a mentally handicapped women, and is clearly on the side of us needing to accept those with mental illnesses. Now don't get me wrong I know many people like that with hearts of gold that I love. This is all the more reason that I'm disgusted by this film. To say the least it is a horrible depiction of what this movie try's to defend.1/10

for intelligence. Tripe like this again falls into a category where a mediocre actor (O'Donnell), with money and too much fame, feels like doing something altruistic (a TV movie) and pretends to have one iota of medical knowledge or empathy (she was on several talk shows, discussing Asperger syndrome) and she even mis-pronounced it!.Why, oh why do we in the US have to be subjected to this garbage?- In Europe, I do not see the TV being inundated with mediocre TV actors/talk show hosts. Actors seem to know their place, and concentrate on art, not media hype, curing cancer, or discussing mental illnesses (which they have no business doing).I see I am not the only reviewer sick of this trend; Do not waste your valuable time or money on this film. It is not educational, is mere publicity fodder for O'Donnell to add another notch on her "social consciousness" belt. Enough already. 0/10.

I think the current rating of "3.7" for this movie is way too high.Probably the worst movie I have ever seen, and thats really saying something.Do yourself a favor and give this movie a miss, unless of course you are a masochist and even then I doubt you will last the course.Listening to Rosie O'Donnell screeching for a few hours with absolutely no acting talent and probably an embarrassment to all around here... now surely everyone else had something better to do?Andie MacDowell really needs to forget this film... fastAbsolutely dreadful.

Honestly I don't know why people only watch a movie for certain actors and actresses, as there is so much more to a movie. This movie "Riding the Bus with my Sister" was a great film. I know people who are Mentally Handicapped, and sometimes they are loud and energetic, it's their way of living. I loved the fact that Rosie O'Donnell played in the film, as well as Andie MacDowell. They both made the film genuinely good. It was really easy to understand where the working photographer didn't have time for family and such, and the fact that she got "custody" of her sister brought them back together. I give the movie 10 stars for various reasons, 5 for the actors and actresses, 5 for the storyline. If you feel as if you wasted your time, then I don't know why you started watching it anyway. Evidently you have no heart for people other than yourself!
