Rocky Dennis is treated with pity, condescension, and disgust by much of the outside world because of a massive facial skull deformity. And the movie follows his attempts to live as normal a life as possible under the circumstances.

A good movie that could have been a great one with a little more restraint.

One of those movies that try so hard to get their supposedly universal message across that they are likely to put your teeth on edge more often than they bring one little, lonely teardrop to the eye.
