Trivia:
In the film, Astrid's mom is an artist, while in the book her mom is a writer - showing an artist working would make the movie more interesting then showing a writer write. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Astrid says her father left when she was two years old when she talks with Ray, but toward the end of the movie, Ingrid tells Astrid her father left when she was six months old. moreQuotes:
Starr: Astrid, those are ugly shoes.Astrid: Snakes don't bite above ankle.
Starr: Well, take my word for it, you better being bitten by snakes then dressin' for them.

Strong performances by Lohman, Penn, Zellweger and especially Michelle Pfeiffer in a faithful adaptation of Janet Fitch's novel. Not hard to see why this one didn't attract more attention in theaters, since it lacks the ingredients that seem to characterize hit films nowadays -- such as action, violence, sex and stunning special effects. It's just a very moving story, well-crafted and well-acted. I'd recommend it to anyone.
