This perceptive, uplifting chronicle shows how much Rachel, a photographer, had to learn from her mentally retarded sister, Beth, about life, love and happiness. Beth lives independently and is in a long-term romantic relationship, but perhaps the most surprising thing about her, certainly to her (mostly) supportive family, is how she spends her days riding buses. Six days a week (the buses don't run on Sundays in her unnamed Pennsylvania city), all day, she cruises around, chatting up her favourite drivers, dispensing advice and holding her ground against those who find her a nuisance. Rachel joined Beth on her rides for a year, a few days every two weeks, in an attempt to mend their distanced relationship and gain some insight into Beth's daily life. She wound up learning a great deal about herself and how narrowly she'd been seeing the world. Beth's community within the transit system is a much stronger network than the one Rachel has in her hectic world, and some of the portraits of drivers and the other people in Beth's life are unforgettable. Rachel juxtaposes this with the story of their childhood, including the dissolution of their parents' marriage and the devastating abandonment by their mother, the effect of which is tied poignantly to the sisters' present relationship. Although she is honest about the frustrations of relating to her stubborn sister, Rachel comes to a new appreciation of her, and it is a pleasure for readers to share in that discovery.

  • She went "full retard" on this one.

  • You guys are so immature . I love rosie o'donnel

  • Is Rosie O'Donnell even acting??

  • I'm now blind... oh sweet relief

  • GOO MOANING!! HAHA

  • Too bad Dennis Hopper didn't strap a bomb to this bus.

  • Poodles or poodle puppies would have been a better option if she is alergic to dogs. Plus, they'd fit the "fluffy" feel of a wedding better than the cocker spaniel pups.

  • Wow.. I never know about this movie... But Rosie is an great actress & comedian... You gotta love her...

  • This movie is pretty different from the book..
