Adam

Adam is Adam Raki (Hugh Dancy), A New York Asperger's Syndrome savant with a maximum education and minimum social skills. He’s orphaned at 29 when his father dies which for most men would be no problem but Adam is left virtually rudderless. Thankfully his father’s surviving army buddy Harlan (Frankie Faison) is there for support but he can only do so much. More help arrives (although bewildered at first) when Beth Buchwald (Rose Byrne) a cutie about Adam’s age moves into his building. Things start looking up even though she comes with her own set of emotional baggage. Can you guess what happens next? Of course you can. Aside from being a sharp acting exercise for Dancy and a make work project for Amy Irving (not aging gracefully) and Peter Gallagher as Rebecca and Marty, Beth’s snooty parents, we’ve seen this before. As a matter of fact biblical Adam saw this before.
