Description
Wendy sees things differently: she's fiercely independent, with a brilliant mind and a mischievous sense of hilarity. Wendy also has autism. To her, people are an indecipherable code and the world's a confusing place. Inspired by her no-nonsense caregiver, Wendy comes of age and escapes from her care home on the road trip of a lifetime to deliver her 500-page script to a writing competition.

Please Stand By deflates into a perfectly watchable but soft parable in which a can-do young American loses a battle, only to win the war of growing up, while the adults in the room confront their own unhelpful rigidities.

It's quirky but never cloying; creative but never over-the-top; and funny without sacrificing drama.

"Please Stand By" will win no awards. But it is a sweet diversion.

Yes, it's too cute by several parsecs, but it does boast Patton Oswalt playing a Klingon-speaking police officer.

Lewin ... posits this as a whimsical road comedy, but I couldn't help questioning both the logic and the consistency.

You can guess how most of its scenes will play before you even come to them, and it has a circumspect, sanitized quality, as if meant to be shown in group homes without causing undue upset.

A lovely, gentle geek adventure that appreciates the importance of fandom as a source of inspiration and comfort, with a subtle and resolutely unsentimental performance by Dakota Fanning as an autistic fan.

Touches the viewer with the subtle emotional wallop of a feather brushing against the heart.

Road movies are pretty common but "Please Stand By" makes the genre its own as we root for Wendy ever y step of her way.
January 26, 2018
A sensitive character study whose story beats are a little bit overly familiar.
January 28, 2018
Lewin can't quite transcend the inconsistencies and dwindling credibility of the concept or give the material a driving pulse, even with its race-to-the-deadline setup.
