Bebe (2013)
If they made it and are happy with it, screen it in your homes only.

It is both a waste of time and destructive to watch these kinds of films. I totally agree with the comment written before mine as it is our duty to stop this kind of wave. Enough is enough. Such kitsch stinking films lower the intelligence of people. If the writer chose the main character being mentally impaired, that's fine, but I am sure she has never actually met one. Plus, a nine year old girl never speaks this way. It is completely unconvincing, however you calculate it. It is even insulting not only for the mentally impaired but for the audience. It's just a pity this amount of money wasted on such a wanna be film. Real pity.
