Okay everyone. I have been so excited about this movie since they were filming it. The name of the movie is Girlfriend and it stars Shannon Woodward (Raising Hope, the awesome chick at the grocery store) and co stars Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga, The Last Airbender). Below I have a synopsis which I stole from the Girlfriend's website...obviously I have not seen it so no way could I have written this. Doesn't this sound good? Don't you want to help make this movie work? I absolutely love Shannon Woodward and seeing her in anything would be awesome so if you have a couple extra dollars click on the CONTRIBUTE button above.

SYNOPSIS

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.

Candy, 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’s offers of financial support, Candy hesitantly accepts his gifts, which causes the pair to enter a complicated emotional entanglement.

When Russ catches on to Candy and Evan’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.
