Plot: Elisabeth Shue stars in this drama as Molly McKay, a mentally challenged woman who has suffered from autism since childhood. Institutionalized since the age of three, Molly is released at age 28 into the custody of her brother Buck (Aaron Eckhart), whom she hasn't seen since childhood. While Buck cares for his sister, she is in many ways a stranger to him, and he's having enough problems in his life at the moment. When Buck is told by doctors of a risky experimental surgery that could cure Molly, he gives his consent. The operation is a success, and Molly emerges with the emotional walls of autism removed, revealing her to be a genius. But the autistic personality's intense concentration remains, and Buck finds the new Molly nearly as challenging as the old one. Molly's supporting cast includes D.W. Moffett, Jill Hennessy, and Thomas Jane; it was the first credit for screenwriter Dick Christie. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Review of Molly
Added 12/23/2008

I have a teenage daughter with Autism. I saw many characteristics that reminded me of my daughter. She also has an older brother and sister that help take care of her. It is a true concern wondering how things will go once "mom and dad" are gone. I really appreciate the effort made to bring this subject to light. There are not as many females with Autism as males. Thank you again.

Elizabeth Shue Delivers A Great Performance As The Loveable Molly McKay
Added 9/14/2008

"Molly" is one of those rare film treats that I happened to watch and ask myself, "Where was I when this movie was released in the theatres? Why haven`t I seen it before?" "Molly" is a sweet, romantic comedy that will make you laugh and cry.

Elizabeth Shue ("The Saint" and "Cocktail") stars as Molly McKay, a beautiful, young woman with autism. Her learning comprehension seems to be that of a five year old. When her care facility closes, Molly is forced to live with her workaholic brother, Buck (Aaron Eckhart of "The Dark Knight" and "No Reservations"), who has only visited her at Christmas. He has always been ashamed of her.

Revolutionary brain surgery gives Molly a chance at living a normal life. After the operation, she begins learning rapidly until she begins speaking and acting like a normal person. Unfortunately, like the potion in a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde film, the procedure begins reversing itself. Molly is heartbroken. She is fearful of losing the strong bonds she has developed between her friend Sam (Thomas Jane of "The Mist" and "The Punisher") and her brother Buck.

Elizabeth Shue delivers a believable performance as an autistic person. We watch her transform from an unpredictable, out-of-control child to an emotionally stable, mature adult. Unfortunately, we experience her pain as we watch her reverse back to her original state. The other cast members deliver great performances as well.

"Molly" is a must see for fans of romantic comedies. A gorgeous cast, beautiful sets, a touching storyline, and a great musical score all combine to give us an enchanting experience. You won't want to miss Molly McKay. You'll want to embrace her, hold her close to your heart, and never let her go. I am so glad I found this film.
