At first glance you might think Girlfriend is your typical romance movie, but although there is "love" involved the film is really about human relationships, not just of the romantic type. This is the story of a man (Evan) with down syndrome as he encounters the harshness of the world while he attempts to have a "love affair." Candy (Shannon Woodward) his long time crush, is a struggling single mother with an abusive ex-boyfriend, Russ (Jackson Rathbone). Evan wants nothing more than to be Candy's boyfriend and help her with her problems, while Candy just wants to protect her son Simon.

The director, Lerner, did a fantastic job portraying Evan's struggles without making him a character to pity.Read full review
