      When Vada bounces her ball along the hall, it only makes the sound of a ball hitting a hard surface, despite landing on a thick woven wool rug at least half of the times she bounces it.
    • Quotes

      Vada: [after Vada and Thomas kiss] Say something, it's too quiet.

      Thomas J. Sennett: Umm, ummmmm...

      Vada: [agitated] Just hurry.

      Thomas J. Sennett: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...

      Vada, Thomas J. Sennett: ...And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

    Real
    Despite being a guy, I find this movie to be a very accurate depiction of an 11-year old girl and the way she would deal with everything surrounding her. Granted, Vada is played by a girl who's 11 anyway, but remember, her dialogue was written by an adult. And speaking of kids, they do a great job! Everyone in this movie is very natural in their performance. I guess you could say there's not really a story per say, it's more of a character study than that. And it doesn't take too long for the characters to receive more development. It's just a good drama all around.
