It's fantastic, I've read the origional trillogy about 5 times, plus the other books quite a bit too.... the film is just the first book.
It's about a doctor in a mental home who comes across as guy who claims to be from another planet. He can do things that a lot of people can't, like see Inffared light and know a lot of things about stars'n'planets. There is a lot of is-he-isn't-he in there. But the story of the guy who the alien took over from is actually a split-personailty and has had some horrifc things happen to him.

It's a fantastic phsycology film, can be a bit weepy in time, and has a lot of magical moments.... there is a simularity there to Patch Adams, if you liked that, you'll deffo like this. But even if you hated Patch Adams, and I know a lot of people who do, you can still really really enjoy this.

I honestly love it, it's a shame it's not on kindle or i'd get myself another copy.
He comes up with some amazing things, such as a palistinan and israeli girl writes to him and both ask how to stop their people from fighting. He replied the exact same thing to both of them... "No matter what happens to you, anything at all, do not retaliate for 1 month. If you still want to fight after that, then go ahead".
