Trivia
One of the recurring themes in this movie is having faith and hope. Gus tells John Q to have faith. His wife Denise attends church and reminds John to pray. Lester tells John that he has to accept the situation and put it in God's hands. The irony in this is that John Q and Mikey's blood type is B Positive. Or, Be positive, have hope.
