I saw this last night with my kids, hubby and in-laws. I do not have kids that people instantly know are gifted. So when I first saw the trailer, I was concerned about it perpetuating unrealistic stereotypes of the child genius and also simplifying things that cannot realistically be simplified in 2 hour film. That said, I think this movie was excellent, and I think that the way they portrayed the characters and their motivations was very well done. The child who portrayed Mary did a fantastic job. I can post spoilers about why I think this was so, but I think it would be better to start a new thread for people who see the movie if anyone wants to discuss it (and put in the subject line SPOILERS). Please see the movie. I was impressed by how much they got right.
