- TriviaAs Odd leaves the hospital, one of the signs that is being held up says: "In Odd We Trust", which is a graphic novel in the series
- GoofsWhen Odd and Stormy are riding the scooter after leaving Viola's kids, they ride past a car dealership. All of the signs at the dealership (including the sign out front) are backwards, except for the large "Quality" sign in the middle. The film was reversed to change their direction of travel, but only one sign was fixed.

Odd Thomas: Fate is not a straight road. There are many forks in it. You have the free will to choose which one you take, but sometimes it will bend around and bring you straight back to that same stubborn fate.

Featured review
Very well made adaptation for the screen - couldn't tell the difference from the book!
If you read Odd Thomas, which fortunately I did, you will hopefully find this movie quite truthful to the book which is really great. Superb job from the screen writers. Really, the characters are perfect in the movie and I think there would be no one better than Dafoe to play the Chief!
The book was a really fun read and the movie has exactly the same feel, too bad it's too short. I think books are the best because the thrill lasts longer but this movie is a go.
The rest of the acting is not Oscar material, but it is a very enjoyable movie and goes well with a soda and a bag of popcorn.
As for the end - get your tissues ready. Oh Lord, the humanityyyyyy!!!
