Keith
2008, PG-13)
Warning:

Sob teen story about girl falling for maverick, and then finding out he has cancer. The first half is Twilight minus the vampire stuff. For the first fifteen minutes I was berating myself for downloading this sort of teen trash, but it gets better, once you meet Keith.

Warning:
Some pretty offensive misportrayals of hearing-impaired people
1. Deaf people cannot order their own meals and we are unable to drive. Totally dependant.
2. Deaf people can easily adapt to hearing culture, because reading lips is not only possible, but super easy. False. At most, you'll get less than half of the information.
3. We need to save deaf people from their terrible fate, with cochlear implants.
4. The producers pardoned their casting of a hearing actor to play the deaf character with: "the main [reason] being she had to be able to speak and 'hear' by the end of the movie". Gee. It's too bad there aren't any deaf actors that can hear or speak.
One blogger summarized it adeptly: "Congratulations, you have set us back several years by stereotyping us as isolated, lonely, dependent and helpless deaf people who need Mommy's protection and getting cochlear implant to hear and speak again. Miracle, indeed."
