    The film brings us vividly inside the life - and head - of its determined hero, Bud Clayman, as he depicts the process of what he calls "getting normal."

    OC87 serves both its subject and its viewers well by chronicling a process that is actually insightful, entertaining and apparently successful.

    Through it all, Clayman struggles to keep himself, and OC87, on track - and it's easy to cheer his ultimate triumph.
