Very well executed

Excellent but underrated film

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Having seen "Adam" just last night, I can say that it is one of the most touching romantic comedies.I really like Adam.It was very nice to see his battle in all of these people who he couldn't understand their words or behaviors because of Asperger's Syndrome. Also his relationship with Beth.I was really irritated because of Beth didn't go with Adam and leaved him alone.I wanted to scold her. (Come on he is in love with her!)Just i expected to their come together and end movie with happy ending.Anyway it finished with happy ending in different way.

This movie was moving along in a lovely manner: amiable characters and a decent plot. The relationship that was presented between the two lovers was raw and genuine several times throughout the movie. HOWEVER, the end of the movie destroyed the central message of the expression of love through means far grander and more universal than just verbal and physical relations. The woman basically gave up on Adam in the end and was content with loving him only in her memories, a disappointment considering there could have been so much power in seeing the two lovers not overcome his aspergers, but rather embrace it as a part of their mutual love. The movie would have otherwise been a solid 8 if it were not for the end.

As far as formulaic romcoms go, this one bears little resemblance to the rest. True, like other Hollywood romcoms it features strikingly gorgeous actors who might make you yell at the screen "oh boo hoo! How could anyone who looks like you have any problems in life?!?" But aside from that minor flaw, it's a very human story with a powerful, realistic message about love & living outside the social norm.I'm not an expert on Aspberger's syndrome--my only knowledge coming from movies like "Temple Grandin", "Phoebe in Wonderland" and now "Adam"--so I won't try to tell you if Hugh Dancy's portrayal was accurate. But I can say that he was genuine, convincing and endearing (or at least as endearing as you can be while playing the role of someone who doesn't really display emotions).What I really liked about this film was the subtle allusions to the children's book "The Little Prince" (original French "Le Petit Prince", if you remember being forced to read that in 10th grade foreign language). In that regard, it weaves 3 themes of childhood, astronomy and love together and provides a very satisfying story.This film has been described with a lot of clichés that may lead you to expect certain things, but don't be fooled. The story is as unpredictable as the audience's reaction. (Aside: don't you hate it when critics use the words "feel-good" & "heartwarming", or alternately "bittersweet" & "heartbreaking"? DON'T TELL ME HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO FEEL, DAMMIT!!) All I'll say is, if you like your movies slightly off the beaten path, then this is a good one for you to check out. Other great anti-romcoms include "Forget Paris" with Billy Crystal & Debra Winger, "Pumpkin" with Christina Ricci, and the much-maligned gem "All About Steve" with Sandra Bullock.

It started off very well, has firm grip on story. As a geek you like to see the movie,a typical boy who is intelligent but suffering from Asperger syndrome and fell in love with his neighbor. You kinda like this story which drew my attention to watch this movie. I had very high expectation from this movie, it plotted character very well initially but as movie progressed it lack proper storyline. You feel like movie is running running and suddenly stopped. There is no up and down, you will not feel any thrill or emotion after watching this. They could make this movie better by putting more emotions or romance. Girl fall in love with a men who is suffering from Asperger syndrome and without much interaction she fall in love; that's hard to accept. but overall you can still watch it.
