Trivia

In the scene where Chrissy punches Roberta in the face for pretending to drown, Christina Ricci forgot to turn her head and ended up getting punched in the face full force. The production was shut down few days due to Christina being badly bruised.

Goofs

When the girls are looking for articles from 1945 in the newspaper Roberta finds an article about her mother's death. Her mother would have had to have died after 1958, therefore Roberta shouldn't have seen the article unless she wasn't actually searching in 1945 like her friends were.

Quotes

Samantha: If you don't fall in love, you can't get hurt.
Roberta: But it sure is lonely all by yourself.

Alternate Versions

User Reviews

All-star cast. All-good film.

'Now And Then' is about a group of women who return to their old treehouse and reminisce about the one summer that truly changed their lives...

With an all star cast, 'Now And Then' features Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson and Rosie O'Donnell, with Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman, Ashleigh Aston Moore and Christina Ricci playing their younger counterparts.

Teen star Christina Ricci ('Casper', 'The Adams Family') is great - as is Ricci's 'Gold Diggers' co-star, Ashleigh Aston Moore - as the mis-informed Chrissy. Bonnie Hunt ('Jumangi') and Devon Sawa ('Wild America') also star.

The story is great - plenty of laughs to be had here, with sad moments, too. The acting is A-Grade (the young girls look very promising) and the finished product is a film all the cast should be proud of.
