{4.5\/5} “This is what happens when you pee on the bus.”<\/p>\n
Please Stand By<\/strong>, released in 2017<\/p>\n Wendy lives in a group home, works at Cinnabon, and looks after her dog. She’s autistic, and she occasionally gets upset when things don’t go the way she wants. She’s written a “Star Trek” script for a contest but left it to the last minute and doesn’t have time to mail it. So she takes a bus to Los Angeles, even though she’s not supposed to cross Market Street.<\/p>\n Dakota Fanning plays Wendy and is brilliant, as always. Patton Oswalt and Marla Gibbs have small but important parts.<\/p>\n It’s a delightful story about determination, creativity, and remembering the things you’re supposed to remember. There are a bunch of funny parts.<\/p>\n I love the moment where Patton Oswalt as a police officer coaxes Wendy out from her hiding place.*<\/p>\n Stars Toni Collette and Alice Eve. Directed by Ben Lewin (The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish<\/strong>). The gentle music is by Heitor Pereira.<\/p>\n Spoiler alert<\/strong><\/p>\n *By speaking to her in Klingon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “This is what happens when you pee on the bus.” Please Stand By, released in 2017 Wendy lives in a group home, works at Cinnabon, and looks after her dog.
