    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Leelee Sobieski's character, Jennifer, has a number of facial piercings, and cartilage piercings in both ears, but does not have her earlobes pierced - to which a reference is made in the movie. At the time the movie was made, Leelee herself did not have pierced earlobes, as she did not have them done until 2006. Specially for her part in this movie, she did, however, have both nostrils, both eyebrows and her lip pierced, along with the cartilage of both ears. After filming was completed, she removed the piercings and allowed them to close up again, but kept the jewelry as a souvenir of the movie.
    • Goofs
      When J is talking to Randy from her car after first meeting him, the door is open from his point of view but closed from hers.
    • Quotes

      Randy Harris, Jr.: Shut up, Sybil. Shut up.

      Jennifer ("J"): Sybil?

      Randy Harris, Jr.: Yeah, you know Sybil? The woman with eight home phone numbers? It's not necessarily a bad thing. A plethora of personalities can be very enchanting.

      Jennifer ("J"): Fuck you.

      Randy Harris, Jr.: Fuck you.

      Jennifer ("J"): Fuck *you*!

      Randy Harris, Jr.: Fuck you. All eight of you.

    first hour is highly enjoyable
    I think the first hour of this film is the most enjoyable thing I've seen in a long time. Great plot, characters and acting. Sobieski and Brooks make their characters real people, not stereotypes.

    The last 45 minutes are a little melodramatic for my tastes, but by that time I was so invested in the characters, I stuck with the film. The ending is a little ambiguous, which seems much more plausible than a typical "Hollywood ending".
