I think everyone could learn a great lesson from this movie. People are so quick to judge a person by their outer appearance. If you learn to take time and see a person from the inside, this world would be a greater place. Wonderful job by ALL characters!!

| Outstanding
I can't get enough of this movie. I can watch this flick day in and day out. Billy Bob Thorton has played this part to the tee. I grew up in a town like this and many things really are on the money. For instance Dwight yokum plays his part and reminds me of some of the people in that little town.

| Amazing
An amazing film written and directed and starring Billy Bob Thornton,who should have won every award there is for this classic film. His portrayal as Carl is nothing short of genius. The way the story is told and how it plays out is brilliant, without giving anything away the ending was a real nice touch( wanted to do it myself lol)Anyway BUY IT! QUALITY FILM!
