    • Trivia
      The character mannerisms and wardrobe for 'Elliot Gould''s newspaper editor character are based on Tim Fitzpatrick, a deputy editor at The Salt Lake Tribune. Fitzpatrick's father is a former publisher of the newspaper. When the crew arrived to film scenes in the Tribune newsroom, they loved Fitzpatrick's look so much they copied it down to the last detail.

      Josiah Cottrell: You don't have stars here.

      Sarah Cain: Yeah, we do. You just can't see them very well because of all the city lights.

      Josiah Cottrell: Don't you miss seein' 'em?

      Sarah Cain: I guess I've gotten used to not seeing them.

      Josiah Cottrell: Oh, I could never get used to that. Dat always said stars are pinholes in the curtains of heaven.

    nice movie, almost totally inaccurate depiction
    It's not a bad movie, and is rather touching. Definitely sends the 'right' message for young people and families.

    I live in Lancaster, PA. This movie is so full of inaccuracies about the Amish that I can't give it a full recommendation. Please don't watch this and assume you've learned about the Amish and their way of life.

    We laughed when we heard the Amish 'elder' speaking--Amish don't have German accents! And Amish bonnets don't look like that. I could go on.

    Suffice to say, the Amish aren't at all as innocent of our way of life as we'd like to believe them to be.
