Did you know
- TriviaWolf has said that she discovered singer/songwriter, Jackson Odell, literally in her own back yard. She has said that Odell is one of her son's close friends, and that Odell was singing and playing "Smokin & Cryin" in her back yard one night 3 years before filming commenced, when she was still in development on the film. Wolf recalls that she went into the back yard and asked Odell if she could call his parents in the morning because she wanted to put the song into a movie that she was working on. Odell was 17-years-old at the time. That song is featured in the film with Roe singing it on stage in a concert scene that takes place in London. Odell went on to co-write many of the songs in the film with music producer and songwriter, Brett Boyett: "Don't Water Down My Whiskey", "Enough", "Wings of an Angel", and "Finally Home".

Featured review
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming
Liam (Alex Roe) deserts his beautiful hometown bride to be Josie (Jessica Rothe) at the altar on their wedding day to pursue his dream of becoming a country and western singing star and by golly gee if he doesn't eventually achieve his dream of musical stardom. Leaving behind a broken heart in Josie, Liam has a special attachment to a very old style flip phone that seems to be held together with duct tape. Surely Liam can afford to buy a new cell phone every day but dang if he doesn't hang on to his old beat up flip phone for some unknown reason.
Liam finds out that an old friend from his hometown has suddenly passed away which means he will go back to his childhood home for the funeral and stay with his estranged father who he has not kept in touch with because of his busy road show schedule. Liam will also bump into the broken hearted Josie who he abandoned at the alter years earlier and it is then that his life changes drastically discovering for the first time that he has a daughter named Billy (Abby Ryder Fortson) who is a 10 year old spunky confident girl
I can only imagine how I would feel if I discovered that I was the father to a ten (10) year old child for the very first time and wonder what have I missed out on? Well Liam tries very hard to make it up to his daughter Billy and his ex fiance Josie who is by no means looking at her former fiance Liam with goo goo eyes for the big country star. But Liam, keeps asking for just a little bit of one on one time with his estranged daughter Billy, and as each day goes by, the pressure by his band and road manager to keep his cross country concert commitments is overwhelming.
I won't spoil the story line but suffice to say Liam and Josie and daughter Billy's story could, and most likely "is" a similar story of many young love lost couples all over the country and how they rediscover each other years later and how they move forward with their individual lives runs the gamut from despair to pure joy. Forever My Girl sums up this love story all wrapped up in a "FEEL GOOD" story line and the young actress who plays daughter Billy named Abby Ryder Fortson steals every scene she appears in with her charm and natural acting ability in front of the camera.
This is one of those movies that I considered to be a hidden treasure which I will be sure to watch a few more times over the coming years when I want mine and Mrs. Shullivan's spirits lifted. I give the film an 8 out of 10 IMDB rating.
