Trivia
In reality, Willie Earl (Austin Scott) is actually about 5 years younger than Bayou, (Joshua Boone) who plays his younger brother, despite playing the older brother.

Goofs
When Bayou, Willie Earl, and Ira arrive in Chicago; the weather is warm or spring-like as indicated by the clothes being worn and the physical demeanor of the folks out on the street. However, there are posters announcing upcoming shows on February 9 and March 23 therefore it has to be winter in Chicago, and winter in Chicago has historically always been freezing.

HUGE Disappointment!

I have never in my 65 years wanted a movie to to not have a cliched, predictable ending as much as this one! It started with a lot of promise- it wasn't horrible or anything- and how often do we see a movie without a single actor we have seen or heard of before? Seems to me that if Perry had been thinking about this for 27 years or whatever...and I'm not even talking about the logical inconsistencies in the story, since that is so not the point! What is the point of having an imagination, a work ethic, tons of experience in the movie business- yes, I know about Medea but it's not like anyone else was involved in this movie!
