Trivia:
Alicia Silverstone became an "emancipated minor" at age 15 during the shooting of the film meaning she was legally on her own and not a dependent of her parents. This way she could avoid child labor laws, which would have restricted how many hours she could work on the film. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early in the film, while talking about Nick's writing, Adrian notes, "You have such a terrible time with the objective case." Later, Adrian has her own trouble with the objective case when she says, "I think it's brought Nick and I a lot closer." She should have said, "I think it's brought Nick and me a lot closer." moreQuotes:
[about Darian]Nick Eliot: Oh, I think we met. Outside on the front lawn. She seemed very...
Liv Forrester: Uh, "headstrong" is what I call it.

This movie has its faults but you can sit back and have fun watching it. It's slow at first. It's not suspenseful but it efficiently uses the short time of action to punch you with thrills. My adrenaline was rushing when Amy got stung by wasps. The direction is so precise that a certain number of seconds can leave you hanging off the sofa. Be careful if you're eating popcorn(or potato chips). You might end up drooling your food on the floor. Nick isn't that smart but I like him because he's nobody's fool. Aside from Cary Elwes and Alicia Silverstone, Kurtwood Smith(That 70's Show) also plays his part very well. The reversal of traditional sexual harassment and discrimination was also interesting.
