Trivia:
There is a myth that Roger Ebert's review of this film contained the first use of "I hated, hated, hated this movie", which became something of a catchphrase. In actuality that is a misquote. Ebert wrote, "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." more
Quotes:
North: What are you doing here?
Gabby: Well I finished all my chores, I thought I'd get a little shootin' in.
North: No I mean, have you ever been an Easter Bunny?
Gabby: Easter Bunny?
Pa Tex: Careful, Son, Gabby's killed men for less than that.
North: Oh, sorry.
Gabby: No harm done.

Not a fantastic movie, but worth seeing once or twice. Elijah Wood is very likeable as North, and there are some witty lines. The plot leaves much to be desired, however, especially the Winchell subplot. See it for Elijah, but don't expect anything else from it.
