For as long as Heidi can remember, her mentally challenged mother has had only 22 words in her vocabulary, and the precocious 12 year-old doesn't have a problem with that. Bernadette, their loving neighbor, provides them a bubble of love and protection. Then, a new word pops out of Mama's mouth - the mysterious soof - and it changes everything. Heidi is propelled on a solo cross-country journey of discovery and loss, truth and identity.

The plot of So B. It isn't always easy to swallow, but the depth of emotion generated by the actors helps to compensate.

2/4

The filmmakers seem to have forgotten that even the most serious of kid-friendly films can benefit from an injection of fun while attempting to jerk tears.

The strong cast, including John Heard, Dash Mihok, Jacinda Barrett and Cloris Leachman, sells the warm, at times cloying material with earnest conviction.

For most moviegoers this will be your first chance to see one of the most talented young actresses of the next generation as [Talitha] Bateman carries the weight of this film on her very capable shoulders.

The scattered episodes of character-driven charm become lost amid the accumulating afflictions and strained attempts to yank at the heartstrings.

Very emotional film, one of the best I have seen for a while.

So B. It is one of the best book-to-film adaptations I have seen. Sticking to the plot almost perfectly, the portrayals of the characters were convincing, down to the child best friend who had only a few lines. I was disappointed to see that the disabled characters did not get more screen time, but the story did not shy away from unpleasant topics.

I enjoyed this movie. It shows you don't have to be related to be a family and care about each other.

Can't believe the rotten tomato rating! 40% rotten tomatoes and 95% audience votes! Do the audience votes even get taken into consideration? The actors in this movie were all very talented and I quite enjoyed the movie. I almost didn't watch it because of the rating but I'm glad I did!
