Trivia:
In the fight scene with Robert Duvall against the four teens, one of the actors playing one of the men, Travis Willingham, was hit three times in the face by Robert. Due to a miscommunication, Robert reportedly told Travis afterward that he thought he was a stunt man and was supposed to hit him. The cut used was the final one when Travis's nose finally started to bleed. more

Heartwarming Family Movie, 4 September 2004
9/10
Author: movieguru_78 from USA

I have been told by many people this was a great movie and one I needed to watch. Well finally I watched it today and it didn't disappoint me. It has so many great elements to it. I laughed in some parts and cried my eyes out in others. I loved the line "...died with his (or her) boots on." It's a great statement about living your life to the fullest and believing in the things that really matter like love and honor. The actors were fabulous. I think young Haley Joel Osment has a lot to offer films and I hope we see much more of him in the future. Michael Caine never disappoints me and I love his Texas accent in the film. Overall, this is truly one movie fit for all ages. A true heartwarming film with a great message for anyone who will hear it.
