If you didnt see this movie, you should. It is a older movie, but I had never seen it until last night. It was probably one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was touching, funny, loving and kind, but also with a little controversy thrown in. If you saw it what did you think of it?

I've seen it several times and I really like it! I think Billy Bob Thornton does a good job playing that part. Want some mustard with that biscuit, hmmmm-mmm, lol. I love when he calls the cops right after he kills Dwight Yokam and just sits down and eats chicken and biscuits like it's nothing!

Well he probably technically was a sociopath and not so much retarded, thats why he could eat after doing such a crime. I think he felt if he didnt do it frankie would some day do it anyway. He sacrificed his freedom for the boy he loved/

Yes, he probably would have and I agree. Really great story-line to that movie

I was hysterical laughing when he called the cops after killing Dwight because he says to the 911 operator, 'Dwight says to bring an ambulance'. LMAO

I loved it. It was Billy Bob's best work by far. The character of Carl was an anti-hero I found myself drawn to. So much hardship in his life and he sacrificed his freedom to save the boy and his mother from that nutjob boyfriend. It was a very deep movie, more to it than just what you saw on the surface.
The first time I saw it, I thought about it for days. I bought it and watch it every once in a while.
There were touching moments, funny moments, sad moments.
IMO this is a movie not to be missed. It's a movie that will stay with you forever.

It's got to be one of my all-time faves, and the Carl Childers character just HAS to be one of the all-time great movie characters.
"Got no gas in it."
"French fried potaters with mustard, mm-hmmm."
"Ya ought'nt done that, he was just a little feller."
