Goofs:
Factual errors: When you are pregnant, you cannot feel the baby's heartbeat through your stomach. A baby's heartbeat is much faster then an adult's. Babies float in amniotic fluid in a protective sac. If Novalee felt anything it was probably movement from the baby or her blood moving through her body. more

i love this movie so much. I thought it was gonna be a funny but stupid film. but it was totally opposite of it. The movie was very sweet and touching. people say that it's a fantasy movie or it's a really fake movie. but forget whole walmart and #5 thing. this movie is about relationship between people and people get what they deserve!
