A dramatic-comedy, inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance.

Trivia
+ The film is based on the story of Jerry and Mary Newport. They were profiled in 1995 in an LA Times article.
+ The project was originally planned for Steven Spielberg, but due to his workload it eventually landed in the hands of critically acclaimed Norwegian director Petter Nęss. This became his first US production.
+ The movie was on limited release because of artistic differences between the actors, director and the producers.
+ The screenplay was written by Ron Bass, who also wrote Rain Man, a movie about an individual with autism.
+ The film was previously a DreamWorks vehicle and was to have been directed by Steven Spielberg with Robin Williams and Tea Leoni as stars.
+ The film struggled to find a theatrical distributor in the USA. The major reason for this was a lack of public support by prominent cast members who did not like the final version.
+ This film has been lauded by many in the autistic community for its realistic portrayal of life on the autistic spectrum.
Goofs and Mistakes
+ Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the first group scene, Donald talks about numbers as he stares at the microwave oven countdown. When the camera cuts away from the digital readout, the one/second beep of the microwave can still be heard but when the camera returns to the readout, fewer seconds elapse than beeps heard.
+ Continuity: After coming into his newly cleaned apartment, Donald opens the refrigerator door; he then turns around looking for Isabella. When it comes back to him, the fridge door is suddenly closed.
+ Factual errors: Donald puts a foil covered TV dinner tray into the microwave oven and turns it on. There is no problem with the microwave, unlike what would happen in reality if someone put tinfoil into a microwave and turned it on.
Quotes
+ Donald Morton: I'm late, which is ironic, because I started out 9 hours and 23 minutes early.

+ Gregory: Can I give you some advice?
Donald Morton: Can I humanly stop you?
Gregory: Stick with the group. Compared to us, you're a god. And, uh, next to Isabelle, which you will *never* be again, you don't come off so hot.

+ Donald Morton: Excuse me. Do you know when the next bus, uh 217, runs?
Man at bus stop: Sorry.
Donald Morton: I'm chasing someone.
Man at bus stop: By bus?
Donald Morton: Well, it's important.
Man at bus stop: Important enough to take the bus?
Donald Morton: Yeah. My girlfriend left me because I wanted to get married and she wanted to stay just friends.
Man at bus stop: Ah. The slower this chase, the better.
Donald Morton: Yeah.

+ Isabelle Sorenson: All this time, and you didn't call.
Donald Morton: I was gonna call.
Isabelle Sorenson: You were?
Donald Morton: Well just to tell you that I wasn't gonna call so that you wouldn't be aggravated, sitting around waiting and wondering when I was
Isabelle Sorenson: gonna call?
Donald Morton: Yeah. But in the end I figured that forcing myself into your life was probably not right. I would always do that. So the only nice thing I had left to give was just not to call.
Isabelle Sorenson: I hated you for not calling. Because you were always gonna be there, and when you weren't, it was as if you didn't love me anymore.
Donald Morton: So go home, I'll call ya.

+ Donald Morton: People with Asperger's want contact with other people very much; we're just pathetically clueless at it, that's all.

+ Wallace: After everything she told me, and checking on your excellent record in college, I'm wondering why you choose to drive a taxi for a living.
Donald Morton: At my interview with IBM after I graduated college, they asked me what my plans were, and I said, "Probably go to McDonalds for a 12-piece McNugget and two cheeseburgers, and then do my laundry."
Wallace: Did they laugh, at least?
Donald Morton: They smiled and said they'd call me. They didn't.

+ Isabelle Sorenson: Be my friend Donald, be my best friend, please, because I really need you. I always felt like you wanted us to get married or something.
Donald Morton: I never said that.
Isabelle Sorenson: Not with words. But instead of that, do you want to just be my friend?
Donald Morton: Without the sex?
Isabelle Sorenson: Without the pressure. My friendship is all I have to give. Do you want it?

+ Donald Morton: Turns out you can't control people.
Donald Morton: Or even predict them.
Donald Morton: Numbers are different.
Donald Morton: As I used to say, you can count on them.

+ Donald: By the time I was 2 years old my parents basically got the drill, I wasn't exactly what they were looking for in a child.

+ Isabel: Sex is terrific. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes off.
Donald: I'm sure you've been with more attractive men
Isabel: Attraction is a whole package. Now... I've never been with anyone like you.

+ Donald: What d'you do? Where's my stuff?!
Isabelle: I thought you'd like it.
Donald: You had no right to do this! You stole my life.

+ Angry driver: Trying to get yourself killed?
Donald: Maybe later.

+ Donald: I'm doing all the numbers in the parking lot. It helps calming me down.
Homeless man: Did you lose your job?
Donald: No, my woman. And my shower curtain.

+ Donald: Dr Mozart, I presume.
Isabelle: Nice whale costume. So this is who you really are. This is so hot!

+ Donald: It's nice to obsess on something beautiful, for a change.
