Movie Review: THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING (2015) (B-) for Men, (A) for Women


This a a chick flick wrapped around the story of the renowned and nerdy astrophysicist  Stephen Hawking, who received an earth-shattering diagnosis of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, at 21 years of age. At present he is almost entirely paralysed and communicates through a  speech generating device.  

Before the disease takes hold  he  and a another Cambridge student fall in love and are married . . . even though they both know that the relationship will be difficult  . . . to say the least. 

The movie is slow moving , predicable and sets up obvious relationship problems that finally cause the couple to divorce.
