Rating:  - I NEVER CRIED SO HARD FOR CHARACTER IN A MOVIE!
This is a good movie. The relationship between these two is so childlike and so funny at the begining. These are two people suffering from things beyond their control and trying to make a life for themselves. I'll give away the movie if I try to give any kind of serious review.
Lets just say, I no longer have the film because a friend refuses to give it back. Now, I have to buy a new one. This is the best movie I have ever seen and it broke my heart.
Rating: - A Superb Film
I was lucky enough to get to see this film in my college psychology class.
It truly is a heartbreaking and beautiful love story involving two mentally ill individuals. This is rarely a story that is told; usually mentally ill people are darkly portrayed.

Angel Baby gives you a different outlook on mentally ill people, and any film that does that ... Read More
Rating: - DVD, Please.
John Lynch is one of my very favorite actors, I think he's just amazing. This is his greatest performance, and his best movie. It works on every level - acting, script, music, direction - never sinking to "Aw, aren't they CUTE?" as so many romances about "challenged" people do.
And it's surprisingly funny.
Highly recommended.

Rating: - Run and Hide!
Strong performances from the leads John Lynch and Jacqueline McKenzie give this film its power. Lynch has a face that's perpetually aching, and McKenzie's defiance blows through.
The main characters meet at a "clubhouse" for the mentally ill, and soon fall in love. With the blessing of their doctors and the reservations of their family, they move in together. Naturally, complications arise when Kate (McKenzie) gets pregnant - limiting her access to her medications. Omens, good and bad, come from ... Read More
