Trivia
Headlines about the rape scene came out on July 21, 2006, the very day that the movie wrapped filming. See more »Goofs
The 45 rpm record that Lewellen's father gave her in the truck (supposedly by Elvis on RCA) is apparently a reissue of an original which did not exist at the time. See more »Quotes

I really enjoyed this movie. It was very interesting and the acting of Dakota was very good. I watched it twice to really get the feel and the point that this movie was trying to present. I have always been a fan of Dakota and her acting in this movie was not a disappointment. The "rape scene" was well done so as not to look too offensive. The movie was showing the life of an innocent girl in a small town and how she lived playfully and without any kind of guilt or fear of anything. Kudos to the director and all the actors of this film. This is a movie that shows how encouragement and determination can help a person to stand up again after falling and being an unintented victim of somebody's evil desires.
