I loved the movie. I think there is a larger point in that the supporting characters who did not have Asperger's were perhaps even more dysfunctional and more of emotional wrecks than the man with Asperger's. They just didn't have a declared diagnosis. It is implied that there was alcoholism and major depression, but it was a story that showed humanity for the wonderful colorful wrecks we can all be and often are, yet we manage to live our lives and somehow get through life the best ways we know how, no matter how many ups and downs.
I loved it too, for the same reasons. I also cried, but I like that in a movie, it means that it touched me.
While my kids watched it with me, I agree it is decidedly not a kids movie.
