Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEvan Rachel Wood and Jonathan Jackson were the original choices for the roles of Terri and Jay respectively, but both dropped out due to production changes, as did Annie Potts (who was set to play Terri's mother) and director James Hayman. The story's location was then changed from New York City to Los Angeles.
- GoofsTerri and Paul's car crash is impossible. Paul is making a left hand turn through what appears to be an advance green (as the car behind them is pulling up directly behind them.) The car is t-boned, with the truck hitting Paul first. For this to be possible during a left hand turn given Paul's projected location, the truck would have to be traveling in the same direction on the wrong side of the road. There is clearly a median between the two sides of the road, making it impossible for the truck to be logically traveling there.

Featured review
I bought this movie hoping it was cheesy just because it was on special offer... it turned out OK...
This film did shock me in some respect. I expected it to be extremely cheesy (more so than what it was!) The music in it fitted so well. and the acting was actually at times believable (apart from the guy who played Hilary duff's dad in the film) He just wasn't right for any of the hospital scenes.
One thing that did disappoint me was the way after the crash the film used fade in/outs to get the point across that the brother had died, there was a funeral and that the friends didn't know how to act around her now. The film should of explored that a bit more rather than comment &fade out.
Overall i thought it was good. I've actually watched it more than once, but its mainly for the reason of the music and the type of instruments.
