Don't be retarded. Just buy it.Last year I had the privilege to be one of the first to investigate writer/director Isaak James' hilarious faux-documentary Special Needs, a film which goes out of its way to poke fun at the reality television phenom we've been wallowing in for the past several years. Though the concept of the picture suggests cruelty towards those living with a handicap, you'd be wrong to assume as such. James is much smarter than that, and his skill and both a writer and director allow him to turn a very touchy subject into something profoundly funny and remarkably original. Now, thanks to the Lloyd Kaufman and the wonderful people at Troma, you, too, can own Special Needs on DVD for just a handful of crispy dollars. If you're still having second thoughts about picking this puppy up, feel free to read my review of the film. It may help steer you in the right direction. Also, don't hesitate to stop by the official website to read what others had to say, including a snazzy write-up from Microcinema Scene's Louis Fowler! Honestly -- what more could you possibly ask for?
I honestly can't think of anything at the moment.
