I saw the movie at the theater when it was first released. I was in my early 20s at the time. I remember that there was a blind guy sitting across the isle from me. I got to wondering if he knew that the actor playing the blind guy in the film was actually not blind. It seemed to bother me then, and even now, that a blind guy in a movie who was supposedly independent despite his blindness, was played by a guy who had 20/20 vision. I guess that's not a crime but I doubt it would be okay for a black man to be played by a white actor. Okay, I am preaching and I will stop.
Butterflies Are Free is a decent movie. It is harmless and has a "feel good" quality to it. It is basically a boy-meets-girl movie with an extra ingredient or two, namely the blind character, and the culture of the 60s. I would suggest giving it a look and if after 15 minutes you mumble to yourself, "geez, this is really lame", then hopefully you will have the option of forgoing the film and doing something else.
