    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The hand that is seen with the BB lodged between its knuckles is not Ben Stiller's, but Andrew Wilson's, brother of Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson. When they were children, Owen fired a BB gun at Andrew's hand and the BB has been there ever since.
    • Goofs
      Artist Elliott Puckette's name is badly misspelled in the credits (her paintings appear in the film).
    • Quotes

      [in a hospital ward]

      Chas: Why did you try to kill yourself?

      Ethel: Don't press him right now.

      Richie: I wrote a suicide note.

      Chas: You did?

      Richie: Yeah. Right after I regained consciousness.

      Chas: Can we read it?

      Richie: No.

      Chas: Can you paraphrase it for us?

      Richie: I don't think so.

      Chas: Is it dark?

      Richie: Of course it's dark, it's a suicide note.

    • Crazy credits
      The film title first appears on a library book being checked out, then several of the books are seen, and finally the book cover becomes a title card.
    • Alternate versions
      The version shown at the New York Film Festival and some other pre-release screenings used the original Beatles version of "Hey Jude" for the opening introduction. The final version used a new instrumental recording of the song arranged by Mark Mothersbaugh and performed by his Mutato Muzika Orchestra.

    It Made Me Feel Things
    This film made me feel things, not only are the performances great and some really nice cinematography, nothing less than what you would expect from Wes Anderson, but the story itself is simple yet beautiful. There are some really touching moments in this film and I did come close to tears. It's a great film but if you're looking for a comedy I think this isn't your ideal pick, however if you're looking for a touching movie about family, friendship and love then definitely watch this, you won't regret it :)
