This movie was crazy...i almost forgot i saw it!!! i feel bad for the little kid and i have seen a lot of bad mothers in film...there are lists for films with them and I'm surprised this one did not make one of them i have seen!!!
Winona Ryder was hot in Beetlejuice, she looked like Jeanette Lee the videographer from PiL. hot punk chick. she owns Rough Trade records. weird how JT Leroy rhymes with ploy lol seems she made a truckload off of "traumatized" upper-middleclass/upper class hipsters, its funny/fascinating. hence Manson/Ryder. Argento really IS nuts & brilliant,she dated "JT Leroy"
People need to STFU about the Sprouse boys "selling their souls" to Disney. They developed the show with Disney themselves before this movie was even made and now they are done and going to college. And there is no way they were forced by their dad to do this movie.
you all know that j.t. leroy is actually a female who impersonated a male for years to get her books published, don't you? she was the big literary hoax of the 90's so now people think that none of this was ever true.
i meant to say that "people KNOW that none of this was ever true". it was a character invented by writer laura albert (couldn't think of her name the last time i was here), and portrayed in person by laura's sister in law (it may have been her sister, not sure).
and yeah, unfortunately there are many children living lives not so different from this little boys. the thought of which is disturbing on so many levels.
@naomiellison Oh boy, this movie is the exact opposite of uplifting. Watch it and you'll know why. There isn' t a positive thing I can say about any situation in the movie whatsoever.
@TheKainime winona ryder for all of you her name is winona ryder she was in a hell of a lot of movies after bettlejuice....sad that's the only one anyone remembers....i personally liked her in the heathers but thats just me
Omg Dylan and cole r like amazing in this...well atleast the trailer...I haven't even seen the movie yet but if I watch it i will probably strt crying
@LisaDenEnda She's been in lots of movies, like, Mermaids (with Cher :)) :p, Beetle Juice, Edward Scissor Hands, A Scanner Darkly, Mr. Deeds, Heathers, A Girl, Interrupted, just to name a few
why is it if i watch any video, it;s always a black empty box on the video? it sucks, i can't watch anything! :( i wanna watch this.. because of Cole and Dylan! but can't =(
this movie was really good in a sense that it invoked such strong emotions! there were a lot of times where i wanted to stop watching cuz of the cruelty, and how bad i was feeling.
I'm not sure if this movie is incredibly good or incredibly bad.
The actors, director, screenwriter, art director, and everyone else involved did a great job. If they were trying to make a film about a white-trash-crack-whore, I say well done. The movie accomplishes its goal.
But I'm not sure I believe the plot. I don't believe the social workers would let that woman have her son back.
Do you know much about social work? The system is broken. A lot of people who shouldn't get their kids back do.
I haven't seen the movie, but in the book she runs away with him not too longer after she gets him back when social work comes to check up on them. I can't say it's uncommon.
@LadyChippy i read the book, too before i watched the movie but i didn't like that. but maybe its cuz i didn't see what the book was really about. but i can say that even though i was disappointed in the book, i preferred it over the movie.
How are any of those anywhere close to being related to this, or being cruel? Thats just a random grouping of movies, and neither of them are any good. (Except T2 - Edward Furlong is the man)
Read the book. Her father beat her, and though it's never said, I believe he also raped her and that's where Jeremiah came from. I don't know if it's the same in the movie, but it seems to me she feels abandoned by her own family and only used by men. Her son is all she has.
I am gonna write a book about a gay kid who doesn't have the guts to come out for it and he loves boys and he doesn't know what to do and that drives him crazy. it's gonna be a sad roman about a gay kid
Jimmy Bennett and Dylan and Cole Sprouse must have been very uncomfortable filming this. And at Jimmy's age I would imagine he would be kind of Different......
I just realized I read this book when I was a teenager, I totally forgot about it until I saw the part where he dressed up as his mom and danced around in front of the guy then it all came rushing back.
The novel made my heart sink and this movie did the same thing.
this movie reminds me so much of my mother, adoptive grandparents, and just my childhood in general. It should make me sad, but it doesn't. I don't feel that any more.
Wow. I am so glad that my life is not like this. There are some people in the world who think that they had it so bad as a kid until they see someone else's life.
The boys have stated at their website that after their current Disney series ends, they want to take a break from acting, attend college, travel, and just be normal guys for a while. They love acting but need a break since they have been doing it since they were 2.
The Suite Life series have been a cash cow for Disney and are hugely popular. Suite Life on Deck is still in the top 10 of all cable shows, so it's not hurting the boys at all. Still, it would be nice to see them in Dramas as well as comedies.
@cmanalo89 they are letting disney go but dylan i the only one staying in acting cole is going to college to be an artist or something and ylan want's to keep doing roles.But i think they enjoy comedies as that is what they usally choose.
I give this movie 4/4 stars...it is excellent. I was also pleasantly surprised by some cameos of people I really like (Marilyn Manson, Winona Ryder, and Ben Foster just to name a few)
omg thet seems way sad i didnt even know about it till i was watchin random vids of dylan and cole sprouse and to think its based on a true story seems horrible im gonnna go watch it
