I enjoyed the movie! The disability factor was handled so well! Usually I feel they are exploited but this was great! He ruled the roost!

Not nearly as sensationalized as the synopsis will have you believe, 'Jefftowne' is documentary filmmaker Daniel Kraus' exploration of a dude with Downs Syndrome who lives at home with his crippled 93 year old adoptive mother, likes to fondle girls, watch WCW Monday Nitro, and works at the local mall movie theater. I turned this off about five minutes into it, because I swore it was a mockumentary with actors, but it turns out I was wrong and decided to give it another run through. I watched this on the Roku box, so there weren't any subtitles, and that's a bad thing, because Jeff is next to impossible to understand. Watching this, I felt much sympathy for Jeff's plight, but also could see that he wasn't doing too bad, and was getting all the wrestling, pornography, and free beer he wanted and what more could someone ask for? Apparently, this guy is doing pretty well now and living on his own, I just wonder what happened with the chick Kim, who was the object of his desire and someone you could tell was going to have to take care of him after the mom died. Dunno, this was interesting, but I can't say I'd watch it again.
