Please Stand By has its surface charms...but if you look under the hood, the film just doesn't work.

Patton Oswalt makes an amusing cameo as a Klingon-speaking cop, and Toni Collette is her usual graceful self as Wendy’s harried counselor, but in all this is a half-baked effort at humanizing autism — at its best when Wendy’s at her computer channeling the Vulcan voice of Mr. Spock, that intergalactic hero who was always so puzzled by human emotions.

It’s hard to be persuasive, though, when your protagonist comes across as a collection of quirky tics rather than a credible human being.
