There's a word for this vulgar family-therapy movie: retarded.

Everything is reduced to a transparent formula. And everyone plays their schematic part.

The charming innocence in this unusual take on first love and first heartbreak gives THE OTHER SISTER its special quality.

So over-the-top maudlin that it makes Patch Adams and Stepmom look stoic and reserved.
