Good Story

"Finding a film with a solid plot is getting more and more difficult, which makes "Special Ed" an oasis of sorts in a cinematic desert. While the character development, cinematography, music, acting, and dialogue are all wonderful, this movie was made to tell a story to which almost anyone can relate. The cast and crew use the other cinematic tools to enhance what they have to say, and it all comes together for an extremely enjoyable movie experience."

"Over all it was a good movie. Slow but thoughtful. Reminds us that we can get anything at anytime in life. Dont torment or bully people, they could very well indeed be the ones who you need to turn to for help.
All of the cast did a good job.
Jason Earles performance was great. Short but great none the less.

A moving story

"Jeff Phelps put his heart and soul into this movie and it shows. His compassion for telling a wonderful story clearly is evident throughout the film. The cast of characters was impressive and they brought the story to the audience with love and emotion. Having lost a wife to breast cancer at the age of 45, I can certainly feel the pain and suffering of those going through the treatment. What I especially liked about the movie was that it was not a tear jerker, but could have been. It showed a side of compassion from a doctor trying to cure a patient with experimental treatment. Unfortunately for the patient the cancer won in the end. I would highly recommend this moveie for people who are suffering with cancer or who have lost a loved one to the disease.
