First time watch
Buddy/Road Trip – Heart-warming- Family
Selfish car salesman Charlie has his world turned upside down when his estranged father dies and he discovers his father’s fortune is going to the brother he did not know he had.
I can see that this film would have been important at the time in having one of the lead characters having autism, as it was understood at the time.
I spent the majority of the film really disliking Charlie (Tom Cruise) and wishing for him to stop being so selfish and impatient.
My heart went out to Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) and I wanted only lovely things for him!
I thought the storyline was predictable, but it was sweet all the same.
A story of learning to see things differently and love and acceptance.
Would watch again
