    • Trivia
      Jodi Picoult, the author of Plain Truth, and her family were on the set of the movie as Amish extras.
    • Goofs
      When the jury forewoman reads their verdict, she calls the case "The State of Pennsylvania v Katie Fitch." Pennsylvania is technically a commonwealth, and in an official capacity such as a trial, would be referred to as such.
    • Quotes

      Reporter #2: Ms. Harrison, this is four out of four victories for you. How does it feel?

      Ellie Harrison: Actually, it's five, but who's counting?

    Great movie
    It had you guessing the whole time. Had some really great actors to and I think it told a good lesson. If you like movies that keep twisting then this movie is one you'll want to see. It also showed how two different types of people can try to live in each others world. Truly an amazing movie. Also it has a valuable lesson in it. Plain Truth has anything but the plain truth in it. This movie keeps you guessing. A true mystery where things aren't exactly what they seem. Also a good movie for mothers and daughter to watch together because it also shows a strong bond between them. It shows a lot about family dynamics too and how family and culture can really shape someones life.
