    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Apparently, to prepare himself for the cross-dressing scene, Jason Isaacs wandered the drag clubs, picking up on behavior of people there. He wanted to bring Keanu Reeves along, but it would be hard to go undercover with the star of the newly-released The Matrix (1999), so he went alone.
    • Goofs
      There is no way a remote control submerged submarine can be guided in murky water without a clear visual. If the operator could see the submarine, so did the other kids and the public. Anyway, the remote controlled boats would have a keel to put them in the vertical immediately after hit.
    • Quotes

      Sara: You know, he asked me to marry him.

      Chaz: He's not the first...

      Sara: No, but it was the first time I wanted to say "Yes".

    • Alternate versions
      In order to get a 'PG-13' instead of a 'R' the scene where Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron are in a bathtub together and some dialogue had to be edited/changed (you don't see how his head goes under water and that she laughs).

    One month...

    I was never a fan of love movies, but this one hurt me so bad! Keanu and amazing Charlize gave their best and created one of the best love stories ever.

    I couldn't believe that Keanu can play like that and convince me that Nelson fell in love for just one month.

    I like Sara's story and the way she chooses to live. Charlize, as beautiful as always, made Sara strong and weak at the same time.

    The great supporting role of drag queen Chaz Watley by Jason Isaacs. I never imagined he'd play something like this!

    This is the only movie that made me cry and that's why I ranked him with the highest mark. BRAVO!!!
