* BillingDisplacement: Where's Alfred Molina? Oh, there he is. In one scene early on in the film. Despite of this, he is even credited above Melora Walters.


Added DiffLines:

* FridgeHorror: The suggestion that [[spoiler:Jimmy Gator molested his daughter]] is horrifying. It's even more horrifying when you remember [[spoiler:his job involves working directly with children.]]

** Many cite this film as having the performance of Tom Cruise's career, and would say that he deserved the Oscar over Michael Caine for ''Film/TheCiderHouseRules''.

Fusing the two tropes into one. The two examples feel redundant

What?! Okay, I haven\'t even seen this film, and doubt that I will anytime soon since it\'s not my type, but from what I know, Jim Kurring is a straight-out Nice Guy, and Stanley and Donnie, while far form perfect, aren\'t supposed to be \"mean\" characters either from their descriptions and all.
