    • Trivia
      When writer Tricia Fish moved to New Waterford at age 13 with her family, her six-year-old brother ran into their kitchen one day all bloody, and happily said, "I made a friend!" She incorporated this into the movie, in an identical scene with the character of Darcy, Lou's little brother.
    • Goofs
      The movie is set in the 1970's, and as the two girls (Moonie and Lou) are driving along the coast to the bonfire place, there is a visible blue Dodge Neon parked in one of the houses. Dodge Neon was introduced the mid-1990's.
    • Quotes

      Lou Benzoa: This is crazy. Wish we had some sorta sign.

      Boy: [the boy in the sweater and skirt walks up to them, smiling shyly] This was my mother's sweater. She was wearing it when she died, after she ate a grilled-cheese sandwich.

      [he walks off]

      Lou Benzoa: That's not... really helpful to us in any way, is it?

      Moonie Pottie: I don't think so.

      Lou Benzoa: He looked good, though.

      Moonie Pottie: Yeah, he did.

    interesting story in a beautiful place
    This movie inspired my trip to Cape Breton Island last year, because the scenery is so beautiful. I went to New Waterford and, suffice it to say, it is an even stranger town than the movie would make it appear. The movie was cute and melancholy, and Balban was pretty brilliant in the starring role. And movie with girls boxing ranks pretty high with me anyway.
