Watched the film for the first time 3 days ago. I was so glued to the TV as the performance/story line/emotion had me glued. Amazing acting around such a dramatic heart wrenching story. Many aspects that were covered such as disability, care quality within the health care system, and the strength/determination of the disabled child living in a world which included those who did not care.The phrase he wrote about remembering him made me cry a little because it was so beautiful. I hope the film has woken many people up with regard to the plight of the disabled. Well done to all who made this beautiful thought provoking film. I applaud you.

Although not the best film ever made, Fred Savage's portrayal as a kid with muscular dystrophy alone is reason to watch this film.It is very much like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, with the same forceful style nurse, and one patient (Mike Mills) who knows the real medicine the patients need. A great film

I don't want to remember "When You Remember Me," but I'm sure it will be etched into my mind for eternity. I understand that Fred Savage wasn't considered the greatest actor of the 20th century, but holy cow! A little more research and practice wouldn't have hurt. I've heard that people work just as hard on bad movies as they do on good ones, but I wonder if the cast and crew knew they were working on a poorly done rip-off of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." If everybody realizes they are making something that isn't that good, maybe they don't really work "just as hard." I'm not saying that everyone in the cast was terrible. People such as Kevin Spacey are almost always good and Ellen Burstyn did a great "Nurse Ratched" impression.

It really wasn't all that bad, no it wasn't Emmy material either, but we can deal.The main reason to watch this made for TV movie is the acting. Kevin Spacey is great as always, and Fred Savage actually gets a chance to act without a hovering voice butting in.despite being a little depressing at times, it is overall pretty worthwhile. One of the major flaws I noticed though was that even though this poor kid is enduring these horrible things in this nursing home, you have to wonder, Were is this boy's mother?!?!?! I was really hoping the aid, Wade (Kevin Spacey) would adopt the poor kid and make his short life better. But don't worry, he does come to the rescue in the end.Go for it...you may be surprised.
