Trivia:
At the start of the movie, when 'Uma Thruman''s character is flipping through radio stations, one of the songs you hear is "About Her" by Malcolm McLaren. The same song was in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) which Uma also stared in. more
Quotes:
Mr. McClood: And if there's anything I want you guys to take with you from this class, as you're abusing your bodies over break, is three things: the heart is the body's strongest muscle, that the brain has more cells in it than our galaxy has stars, and that the body is 72% water. So wherever you go over vacation, don't get too dehydrated. more

Great ending..., 28 May 2008
10/10
Author: Taj1978 from United States

I was very pleased with this film throughout, even before watching the surprising, extremely good ending. Unfortunately, that's all I want to say, for fear of spoiling it for everyone. But, take my word for it, "WOW". This film was really quite a treat. It has been a while since I have enjoyed a story so much. The entire film was very intense, and wonderfully put together doing a great job balancing the past and present without causing confusion. Being male, I have to also mention that this is not just a movie for women. I had heard word that it was being categorized as a "women's movie" and I have to disagree. Men and women alike can enjoy this one.
