In this eccentric coming-of-age story, Paul Michael Garcia's task is to make Nathan Nelson, whose father can't accept the fact that his son is not extraordinary, feel like a real, sympathetic, age-appropriate boy. Nathan's father is an almost brilliant physicist who lives in a very odd, very isolated mental universe. When at age 17 Nathan is nearly killed in a car crash, he develops a phenomenal memory plus synesthesia. His father sends him off to be studied at a research institute, which is filled with a cast of gifted oddballs whom Garcia expertly portrays. But overall Garcia’s performance is somewhat gray and uninflected, as if nothing that happens to Nathan strikes Garcia as exciting or funny. It's fine, but curiously flat.
