Hated Forrest Gump? Sick to the stomach of schmaltzy rom coms? Fed up being insulted by lazy, patronising film-makers? Then avoid The Other Sister like the Ebola virus, because it's the worst kind of `feelgood' Tinseltown tosh ever to bubble up through Hollywood's gullet.
"Slightly mentally challenged young woman" Carla (Lewis) falls in love with Danny (Ribisi), a similarly "challenged" young man. Carla's overbearing mother (Keaton) isn't sure this is a good idea, but Carla proves she can live like a `normal' person.
