    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      At approximately 1:11, as Joe is cresting a hill, an automobile passes on his left. The shot is reversed, which shows the driver on the right hand side. Joe's watch is on his right wrist, rather than his left.
    • Quotes

      Joe Bell: A lot of people don't think it's a big deal to make fun of other people... um, who are different from you. You know, bullying and intolerance can have a deadly effect. And I'm here because I'm walking across America on behalf of my son, Jadin, to speak out against bullying.

    So misunderstood and underated...!
    I just can't understand the low ratings, and the critics saying that "this could have been a powerful movie". Did we watch the same movie? Hell yeah it's powerful, hell yeah it's emotional! It's well acted and the movie has a great atmosphere. It's quite simple to follow, and the flashbacks are well placed...So, nothing less than 8!
