What’s there ever to fault a film, that’s so straight and simple, about specially-abled folks — starring eight of them, as themselves, for an ensemble cast — in effect, teaching you empathy, first-hand, with so much humour and warmth that you find yourself rooting for these actors, to begin, and end with, anyway?

To a point that one tends to somehow disregard how it couldn’t have been easy getting this debutant cast together — before cameras, that regular blokes often develop stage-fright over.

And getting them to coordinate performances, that seamlessly draw you in, as if there’s nothing unusual going on.
