YMMV / Pay It Forward

• Adaptation Displacement: Far more people have heard of the movie than the book it was based on.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The scene where Eugene defends Trevor from a pedophile is extra cringeworthy now that the accusations against Kevin Spacey have been made public.
• Heartwarming Moments: Jerry asking the suicidal woman to have coffee with him and extending his hand to her, surely moved a lot of audiences entirely.
• It Was His Sled: Trevor is stabbed by bullies.
