Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed, and starred in this mesmerizing drama with haunting overtones of To Kill a Mockingbird. Thornton plays a mentally retarded man who has spent 20 years in a psychiatric hospital for killing his mother and her lover. Released into the community from which he came, he befriends and protects a lonely boy regularly harassed and abused by his mom's boyfriend (a terrific performance by Dwight Yoakam). The story is ultimately about sacrifice, but Thornton certainly doesn't get twinkly about it. Some of the best material concerns the hero's no-big-deal efforts to integrate into a "normal" life: working, eating fast food, earning admiration for his handyman skills, and attaining a semblance of community among other damaged souls. John Ritter has a great part as a gay shopkeeper who tries to assuage his own loneliness by spilling his guts out to Thornton's uncomprehending character. --Tom Keogh

Great movie bought used but everyhting in it looked like new. As for the movie it's a classic I'm sure just about everyone has seen, funny yet serious, everyone should see it at least once, but once isn't enough so you should buy it!!

I won't tell you the story. I will tell you how it was told and give some information that may increase the joy and insight that you can get from this masterpiece. Real life takes time and is filled with little telling events that you can unlock if you are a good listener, and not just another speaker waiting to talk. This string of simple and sometimes silly events are told through Karl at his pace and understanding. This story is about trust and the abuse that does not leave scars.

Horror, Murder, Sci-Fi crap turn me completely OFF & to this day I can't remember how I happened to watch this video but watch it I have over & over again. Each of the actors played their parts perfectly. Billy Bob Thornton will have a tremendous job of ever doing a better job in another movie than he did in this. He did such an unbelievable portrayal of Karl. Each of the rest of the actors, Lucas Black was perfect for the part of the boy who was about to be 'shut out' by his single mother's lover(Dwight ...

I'll keep this short. THIS MOVIE IS INTENSE! I think this is Billy Bob Thornton's finest work. All of the acting is great in this movie. The relationship between "Karl" and "Frank" is so endearing and heart wrenching at the same time. The soundtrack fits the movie perfectly. The climatic guitar playing.....whoa! You could not possibly be disappointed with this film. It's in my "favorites" category. A must see!
