This is truly a remarkable and heartwarming movie. Girlfriend shows love in its purest form and captivates audiences. <\/p>\n<p>Evan is a young man with Down Syndrome who lives with his mother in a poor, working-class town hit hard by the recent economic recession. When he unexpectedly comes into a large amount of money, Evan uses it to romantically pursue Candy, a girl from town whom he has loved since high school.<br \/>\nCandy, now a barely-employed single mom, is facing financial debt, possible eviction, and the inability to rid herself of Russ, her abusive and volatile ex-boyfriend. In no position to turn down Evan&#8217;s offers of financial support, Candy hesitantly accepts his gifts, which causes the pair to enter a complicated emotional entanglement.<br \/>\nWhen Russ catches on to Candy and Evan&#8217;s relationship, all three of them become intertwined in a complex triangle of secrets, jealousy and revenge. Despite his many hardships and the seeming impossibility of Candy being able to return his love, Evan struggles to remain a resilient, pure embodiment of human compassion.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to laugh,cry and see truly amazing performances you must see Girlfriend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the opportunity to sit down with the Director\/writer of Girlfriend Justin Lerner and actor Evan Sneider.
