Mary and Tim is a love story with a difference. It aims to show how two people can still fall in love one another, despite their extreme differences.
Mary has lost her husband and although her friends try to set her up with other eligible men she's content to remain single. She is in her early 50's, is reasonably well off and has a job running a bookstore that she enjoys. Into this comfortable existence stumbles Tim, an attractive young man in his mid 20's. Tim is learning disabled and works as a handyman and gardener. They meet when Tim, the butt of a practical joke, destroys some of Mary's flowerbeds and offers to repair them. Mary is pleased with Tim's work and in all innocence offers him a more permanent job as gardener. She soon learns that he cannot read, and drawn by his open and friendly nature, she offers to teach him.
Without planning it the two become friends and as they work together that friendship begins to blossom into something more. Here the drama begins.
Mary finds herself attracted to someone she knows that society says she shouldn't be attracted to. She knows that if she gives in to that attraction, there are those that will always condemn her affection as somehow perverted or wrong.
Also Mary is a bit overwhelmed that Tim feels the same attraction to her. Tim may be slow but he's not stupid. He's a grown man and he has a grown mans feelings. He knows what he wants and says so, first when he kisses her and then when he proposes marriage. Will she ignore society's small-mindedness and enjoy her amazing good fortune or will she yield to societies pressure and forgo the joy that could be hers?
Mary and Tim is a really great, warm and touching film. Candice Bergman and Tom McCarthy, who play the two main characters, are superb in these roles. It's great to see this version and also the changes that have been made from the original version "Tim" with Mel Gibson and Piper Laurie (1979).
The actor who plays Tim deserves to be recognised more for his acting. He was very good in this film, and played a role you very rarely see a young actor playing. Candice Bergen is always great. The story of a young guy and an older woman is all done in great taste. It touches upon the view that you should NEVER judge anyone because of how they feel emotionally for their beloved. Nor should you judge anyone who might be a little slow, like Tim is.
