at first i thought this movie was just out right slow and unappealing...but i was pulled in at the fact that each one of the individuals had their own "special needs". my uncle lives with me who is mentally challenged and watching this made me realize that while they do have their own abilities and special gifts, they all want the same thing. to be normal and to be loved unconditionally. i love my uncle a great deal and i have always loved others with handicap aliments (no matter what kind, i have been exposed. my dad too is handicapped..physically that is) i was taught to treat them like anyone else and with a tad bit more patients and love. lots of people should watch this movie to get more of an appreciation for themselves, life and to understand the mentally challenged. they too have feelings.

Really liked it, and appreciated them not dragging it out. Was a bit odd that the little girl went along with it, though I doubt it counts as kidnapping as even though it said it happened over months I'm pretty sure it happened in a day, thus explaining the nurse leaving, as it would be ok to leave benign crazy people alone in the middle of nowhere, though I would have taken the bus keys with me. Thought it was a beautiful movie.

'Nut cases' on a short bus after the 'Apocalypse'...seems it's more like a future reality,.... than a fictional comedy....Hope I'm not around to see it!

I thought this was an enjoyable film. It would be an interesting scenario to see played out in real life. A couple of humorous moments, but mostly I enjoyed the window into their thinking and perceptions of the world.

Keep watching. If anyone or their family has been affected by mental illnesses it is a relief to know "special people" is the most correct term. Each person has capabilities, if they are handicapped or not it is times of shear storm that uncovers the diamonds. This film motivates me to be thankful and appriciate life as it is.There are few movies that I care to see repeatedly, but I am curious to see it again soon. To see what I may have missed. This is a nice movie. Thumbs Up.
