Re: Post A Movie, TV or Screen Character with ADHD
Polly from the movie Along Came Polly struck me as having ADHD characteristics. Very spontaneous, forgetful, disorganized. Anytime I see that movie something else jumps out at me that seems ADHDish.

Maxwell Smart, Secret Agent 86 of CONTROL (Get Smart). While the Chief is telling him what his asignment is, he's looking for a pen and paper. When the Chief finishes, he's just starting. And he always makes some kind of comment that gives the Chief a headache, but I understand.

Reminds me of me! *lol*

Re: Post A Movie, TV or Screen Character with ADHD
Anybody remember Peter Falk's Columbo? He was emphatically "inattentive" ADD. I just loved his "just one more thing" routine -- and I also loved the fact that inevitably at the end of the episode he would have the insight that everyone else missed.

They often co-occur. The OP stated characteristics of ADHD, like those brawling drama queens may have ADHD because they are impulsive.

I found better ones

Re: Post A Movie, TV or Screen Character with ADHD
I saw Juno, and didn't notice any ADD characters!! I was maybe too distracted by the soundtrack, and images of pink bunny suits
