Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile drawing pictures of their dream children, October draws a football player with the number 74, which was Michael Oher's jersey number in the film The Blind Side (2009). The film is a recurring joke about her character, who tries to emulate Leigh Anne Tuohy.
- GoofsWhen Pete and Lizzy wreck a kitchen, the glass pane of the top right cupboard door alternates between being broken and intact many times.
- Quotes
Grandma Sandy: You get reminded what a sack of shit you are five times a day, after a while, you can't believe *anyone* could ever love you.
- Crazy creditsPhotos of real-life foster families are seen throughout the end credits, interspersed with footage of Isabela Moner performing the end-credits song "Stay With You."
- Alternate versionsFor the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to remove a single use of strong language in order to obtain a PG classification. This edited version of the film was later used for its DVD/Video release. An uncut M classification was available.

Featured review
I've literally NEVER reviewed anything before. I've never felt I needed to...
That being said - As I was a foster child this hit me square in the face. It was one of the hardest movies for me to watch. Its depiction of how the kids act is 100% accurate. Its one of the hardest things to see and admit now - Being that I'm older.
This movie needs more attention and I hope that my rating helps with that. It needs to be watched by all... I was laughing AND crying (I'm ex-Navy and a very stoic person).
