If the online trailer is any guide, then Special looks like it will be a pretty good–though cringe-inducing–film. I can’t find a release date anywhere, though.
UPDATE by Jim Lippard (August 2, 2009): Looks like it never saw theatrical release, but I just watched it on Netflix-on-Demand via TiVo HD. It was pretty good–not fantastic, and indeed occasionally cringe-inducing, but far better than many films that make it to the theaters.
