I usually LOVE Hallmark movies but I gotta tell ya that this was one of the most disappointing and no doubt the dumbest movie I ever saw. In the first place, movies about mentally challenged people should be very carefully and sensitively cast. In my opinion, "I Am Sam" starring Sean Penn is cast properly as well as "Bill" starring Mickey Rooney. Penn & Rooney were very convincing. "The Boys Next Door" was more like a lengthy Three Stooges episode. It was pure slapstick. Further, I don't know why in the world they had to make Mare Winningham look so ridiculous. I've never seen a mentally challenged person look as goofy as they made her up to look. I couldn't eat my popcorn - she was so nauseating. It was pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
