Pumpkin
Perky, perfect Carolyn (Christina Ricci) and her Alpha Omega Pi sisters plan to win Sorority of the Year by impressing the Greek Council with a killer charity: coaching mentally challenged athletes for the regional Challenged Games.
When Carolyn?s assigned to coach Pumpkin (Hank Harris) she?s terrified at first, but soon sees in him something she?s never seen before: a gentle humanity and honest clarity that touches her soul.
To the horror of her friends and Pumpkin?s overprotective mother (Brenda Blethyn), Carolyn falls in love, becoming an outcast in the process. As Carolyn?s ?perfect life? falls apart, Pumpkin teaches her that perfect isn?t always perfect after all.
