Funniest movie! Watching Shia run and act like a retard made my day. My favorite part is when he's doing his retard paparazzi thing ! But the real laughter is when they spit on his hat! i'm going to pee in my pants of laughter right now but if you want to see one of the funniest acting ever created watch this movie. Retards man!This movie thankfully isn't sad, after I saw I went out with my friends and I made the whole table laugh, that is why I have a girlfriend now. This movie is one of my favorite comedies. If your one of those girly men who get sad then go away but for the people who love to laugh and make fun of people worse off than you are then see this film. GOD! you don't know how funny it is until you actually see it. EEEEEEEuuuu! Retard! HAHA!

OMG OMG .. ITS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER FROM NOW ON... i watched it when it premiered and now i've been thinking of it. i want the book and i want to find a DVD of it. I MUST SEE IT AGAIN! I love the fact that "Even Stevens"'s Shia Lebeof Plays such a dramatic role when normally he plays a comical role. And i love things relating to subjects that have to do with the mind and how it works. My favorite part made me cry... the part where Eddie was flying the kite and it didn't work so he said it must be retarded. It was like he was alluding to himself. Oh yeah the book was good too even though i hadn't read it. Could someone out there please help me find a DVD of the movie. please, and thank you.

Disney is in the entertainment business, and the concept behind Disney original movies is just that- entertainment. But this movie is different...and the main reason is Shia LaBeouf. This kid, if guided the right way, has got a future and a half...the premise behind the movie could have been sickly sweet, but the actors did a great job of portraying the situation of a developmentally-challenged young adult(played superbly by Shia) and how it affected his family...the other subplots helped add to the movie's substance...subjects like peer pressure, parent/child conflict, even parental guilt, are dealt with in a realistic and meaningful way...and Shia's performance is nothing short of amazing...he creates Eddie Walker as a real-life person trying to make his way, with wonderment at times and frustrating behavior at others...this is a Disney original that should be out on video...so those who haven't seen it on TV can see it now...and, an added benefit, listen closely for the song played during Tru's video...it's "Secret World" by Robbyn Ragland...and it's great...it's nice to know that Disney is still capable of this kind of quality production...

very sensitive movie ..... i'am a man and y cried a lot because Shia Labeouf is an excellent actor and he makes me feel different wen a saw this film. its a great movie. pretty good and a nice piece of drama and some comedy. some actors of this film they were no very o better said they weren't be so famous as Shia Labeouf because he is famous for his series ( even Steven's ) that is a great series too ..one of the best i've ever seen . and talking about Shia i guess we are not ready for see him cry like he do in this movie ...is very sad to see him cry ..is painful ...thats why i love this movie... is a very emoccional film and that for me is mi personal opinion.
