Storyline

- TriviaThe Navier-Stokes problem mentioned in the movie is one of the seven Millennium Prize problems in mathematics. Clay Mathematics Institute offered a USD 1,000,000 prize to the first person providing a solution for a specific problem statement.
- GoofsMary is placed with a foster home seemingly so that a neutral party can take care of her until the custody case is resolved. If Frank's visitation is legally allowed, then the foster parents would be in violation by preventing him from seeing Mary regardless of Mary's feelings (e.g., Mary can refuse to interact with him, but he must be allowed to see her, possibly in a supervised location although this isn't discussed). In addition, allowing Evelyn to move in to their guest house would also be in violation of the court order as it obviously is biased toward her. In most counties, the foster parents would be in danger of losing their license by these two actions.
- Quotes
Mary Adler: Is there a God?
Frank Adler: I don't know.
Mary Adler: Just tell me.
Frank Adler: I would if I could. But I don't know. Neither does anybody else.
Mary Adler: Roberta knows.
Frank Adler: No. Roberta has faith... And that's the great thing to have. But faith's about what you think, feel. Not what you know.
Mary Adler: What about Jesus?
Frank Adler: Love that guy. Do what he says.
Mary Adler: But, is he God?
Frank Adler: I don't know. I have an opinion. But that's my opinion and I could be wrong. So why would I screw up yours? Use your head. But don't be afraid to believe in things either.
Mary Adler: Huh. There was a guy on TV who said there was *no* God.
Frank Adler: The only difference between the atheists on TV and Roberta is, Roberta loves you. She trying to help. Tell you what though. One way or another we all end up back together in the end. That's what you're asking, right?
Mary Adler: Yep.
Frank Adler: Okay. Find something else to worry about, will ya?
Mary Adler: All right.
