Molly is a 1999 dramedy film written by Dick Christie and directed by John Duigan.Buck McKay (Aaron Eckhart) is an ad executive who suddenly finds himself the caretaker of his autistic and intellectually impaired sister, Molly (Elisabeth Shue), after her institution shuts down due to lack of funding. Molly greatly disrupts Buck's life, and when her neurologist, Dr. Susan Brookes (Jill Hennessy), tells him of an experimental surgery that involves implanting genetically modified cells in her brain, he decides to sign her up. Molly makes dramatic gains in intelligence and social skills, enjoying social events such as a baseball game and even pursuing a romance with her friend Sam (Thomas Jane). But it turns out the surgery wasn't as successful as they thought... | |

Not What It Looks Like: Buck has to remove Molly's pants after she wets herself. His girlfriend walks in on him as he's holding her down on the bed while she shrieks and giggles.

First Kiss | |
| Molly (1999) / int_a00f2ac9 | comment |
First Kiss: Molly has hers with Sam, and it's implied that it's his first kiss as well. It doesn't go very well, with Molly basically licking Sam's face until Sam pushes her away because he isn't ready. They agree to try again later, when they have a better handle on things. | |

Sensory Overload | |
| Molly (1999) / int_fec81854 | comment |
Sensory Overload: Molly explains in a lecture that when she was autistic, the world was a confusing jumble, and she had to hunch in on small, safe things like The Wizard of Oz or a piece of string. When she starts being distracted by other people flipping pages in the library, it's a sign her brain is rejecting the implant. | |
