Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral scenes were filmed at the Ramsey County Correctional Facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA which is a working correctional facility. While filming in the jail, Woody Harrelson asked for the air conditioning to be turned off. This request was denied due to the inconvenience that it would place on the officers, staff, and inmates of the facility.
- GoofsWilson's cellmate is reading Psalm 23 (and Wilson repeats after him) from the Good News Bible (Good News Translation), but the words they are speaking are the King James Version: "...he maketh me lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters, he restoreth my soul." (1:04:53-1:05:10) Also the cellmate is holding the Bible open to about 1/3 of the way through, but the Psalms are around the midpoint of the Bible.

Featured review
Nice Dramadey
Not sure why this movie would even be considered a comedy, when in fact it had a very surreal flow to the story. I love movies like this because in the world in my head, I would love to be unfiltered like Woody was, with a heart of gold and speak my mind and, not have to worry about how other people my feel. Especially with my dickhead employer. For me this was a nice dramadey, and I don't agree with the other reviews about Harrelson not be able to save this film. In my opinion I loved his character and the rest of the cast. For a man to find out he has a child giving up to adoption and then trying to build a relationship with her, and for the child not to have a built up resentment towards their biological parents, is a very powerful message of relationship on the big screen. I have a on going visitation battle right now with my ex-wife from hell, and I swear, I'm fighting everyday to keep the relationship between me and my daughter alive. So to all you reviewers who didn't like Woody's role. I'm sorry this movie spoke volume to me. And to all you mothers and fathers out there that are not in your child's life they way you should be, Its time to really step up and man up....Great film
