This is a touching story about a caring and loving elderly person and an extremely vulnerable (and handsome) retarded person.
Piper Laurie's character is wedded to her work and her only chance at love is to have a simple Chippendale dancer dunce luckily fall into her lap.
Gibson is hilarious in his speedos and 'Daisy Dukes', and one spends the majority of the movie waiting for him to punch it into the next gear. That's right: "Full retard" as they say in the biz.
In this respect, Gibson fails us, and we are left picking up the pieces of rare gem, strewn about like sand on a beautiful beach.
