There’s nothing sweeter than retards in love, as demonstrated in “The Other Sister,” which is this week’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com. A friend of mine swears that when he first saw the trailer for this film, he didn’t realize Juliette Lewis was playing a retarded person. He thought she was just being her usual whimsical Juliette Lewis self. And as someone on Twitter just pointed out, “That movie makes me uncomfortable, but at least they cast real retarded people as the leads.” See? The jokes practically write themselves.

What I hate most about “The Other Sister” is that it’s hard to write about it without throwing the word “retard” around a lot.
@BillCorbett Did I hear Mike pronounce “conjure” with the stress on the second syllable? Con-JURE? Is that a Minnesota thing?
Here’s what happens in Armond White’s pea-sized brain: “What is everyone else’s opinion going to be? OK, I’ll be the opposite.”
