SPECIAL movie
Has anyone seen Special? Would you recommend it? I don't think I've seen anything quite like it before. (Watch the trailer.) It kind of has the feel of Hancock, only it looks funnier. It also looks kind of sad.
The story is that when Michael Rappaport volunteers to take a new antidepressant, he thinks the drug gives him special powers. It really just makes him think he has powers.
I'm interested for a few reasons. First, I like the theme -- when someone is convinced of something, how do you show them they're wrong?
Secondly, I think Michael Rappaport is really likable, in a pathetic sort of way.
