    • Trivia
      Jeremy London, Jason London's identical twin brother, filled in for some shots in the movie, such as Dani (Reese Witherspoon) and Court's (Jason London's) drive into town.
    • Goofs
      When Dani is sitting on the bed, on the wall behind her is a photo of an older Elvis that was not taken by 1957 (when the movie took place) but taken in the mid to late 1960's.
    • Quotes

      Matthew Trant: She's getting too big to be running around wild as a jack rabbit.

      Abigail Trant: It used to be she was too little, and now she's too big. I guess she passed up just right when nobody was lookin'.

    Pretty good film.
    "The Man In The Moon" is a pretty good movie. It is very touching at times and is very well done in all respects. I wouldn't say the film was terribly original, but what is these days?

    The cast members all did a great job with their respective roles. I really enjoyed seeing Reese Witherspoon at such a young age, and does quite a good job. Jason London does a fine job as well. And the only other person I recognized was Sam Waterston, who did a fantastic job with his role. I really liked Sam's character (Matthew Trant) a lot. At times he seemed to be the kind of father you dread, but in the end you really like his character. The rest of the cast was very good as well.

    If you're into touching movies about growing up and dealing with what life throws at you, then you ought to watch this film. I'd suggest reading the plot synopsis and if that sounds like something you'd be interested in, then go for it. Anyhow, hope you enjoy the film, thanks for reading,

    -Chris
