This review gives a different view from all the others I've read so far. it talks about how the movie was well-written and directed and had a great acting. They go on to say that it "slips into the 'so what' category" because it is just like the other "buddy films". I found it very interesting that this review wasn't as positive as the others since it also came out in the same year that the movie was released. The article says that the movie "Twins" came out the week before and had almost the exact concept and almost made Rainman seem "stale" and it may have gotten better reviews if they didn't come out so close to eachother
I can use this article to show a little diversity in the reactions of the film. I think it will add more to the argument I plan to make that there were many movies with a similar concept that came out close to the same time period. It will help me show that all these movies coming out at the same time actually could have hurt Rainman in some reviews and use this as a prime example. I can use this to show that people thought Rainman was written and directed better and had better acting which helped it stand out.
