Trivia

After a few years of playing adult roles, this was the first of three high school roles in a row for Piper Perabo. She was cast as a teenager, although she was already in her mid-20's at the time. She'd already been a bartender in Coyote Ugly and a government agent in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, amongst other roles.

Paulie: [about Tori] Give her up!
Mouse: Paulie!
Paulie: Say, "I... give... her... up!"
Jake Hollander: Go fuck yourself!
[Paulie thrusts her sword into Jake's thigh, making him scream at the top of his lungs, and so does Paulie]
Mouse: Paulie, no!
John: Fucking bitch!
Mouse: Paulie!
Jake Hollander: [to John and Phil] She cut me!

Loved It!

I personally L-O-V-E-D this movie. I didn't view it until recently and I have to say it changed my life. This movie made me wake up and realize exactly how I feel in my relationship and made me recognize what I would do for my partner.

The way that Paulie feels for Tori is so strong that I could feel it in the room when I watched this movie. Personally I think I would do the same thing that Paulie did. I would go off the deep end if my partner, one that I love and adore just dropped me like that. It also made me realize how other people feel about two girls who love each other. Now I can understand how people feel about my relationship and I know how to handle other people's feelings.
