The View had Sigourney Weaver on as a guest to promote her upcoming movie, Snow Cake. This is supposedly a drama about the relationships between an autistic woman, the man responsible for her daughter's death and her neighbor. The clip shown on the View is a clip in which the woman asks the man if has has ever had an orgasm.
I was interested in the choice of clip. My experience is that when a dramatic film has to use cheap references to sex to hook potential viewers, it's a very bad sign. I went to the film's website to view the trailer and sure enough the clip is a part of the trailer, as well. (

As the mom of a couple of kids with Autism and a person who has worked with many kids and adults with Autism, I can say I am not optimistic about this movie, no matter how much Rosie liked it. The fact that Elisabeth cried at the end also does not move me.
I could be wrong, but my advice: wait for it to come out on video and then rent it only if it's all that's available.
