- GoofsIn the very beginning of the film Erasmus talking to 'producer' Paul as the camera pans back and forth; in one in back of Paul he wears his sunglasses, but not in the rest of the shots.
- Quotes
Paul: You know that if you were dying... I would cut the heart out of my chest for you. I would die so that you would live. That's how much I love you. That's how much I worship you. And I think that you actually know. You know that. And it doesn't matter to you.
Erasmus: It does matter to me.
Paul: It doesn't matter. And I can't stand it anymore.

Featured review
Heart warming and funny.
What a truly enjoyable, heart warming movie this is. It's bound to have its critics in a world still obsessed with old fashioned ideals.
Coogan and Rudd have worked together in some fine films, and combine incredible well, with real chemistry. Coogan at times sounding like a relative of Edina Monsoon.
The kid obviously undergoes a transformation, and the outcome is perhaps a little predictable, but it's the journey that's important here, not the destination.
A well meaning funny film, that sets out a message that the rules of convention have changed. 8/10
