    • Trivia
      The boy that gets kidnapped is playing on a Euphonium, not a Tuba.
    • Goofs
      The "tuba" that Charlie Bratley plays is not a tuba at all but a euphonium. A band student would know that.
    • Quotes

      Crystal Falls: You really don't care what people think, do you?

      Dean Stiffle: No, I really don't.

      Crystal Falls: That's a nice trick.

      Dean Stiffle: Thanks, I studied in the far east.

      Crystal Falls: Maybe you can show me how it's done?

      Dean Stiffle: Step one? Years of ridicule.

    Great Movie
    I saw this movie at Sundance and just loved it. The director introduced it and sort of nailed it on the head. The movie cannot really be easily explained - it's a sort of dark comedy. It has a lot of society commentary that if you paid attention was really great. It also had a bit of a teen type of movie theme but was also very adult. The actors were great. Everybody seemed to steal the show and you really got into their characters. Also there was a lot of symbolism/themes that were very nicely inserted in the movie. I hope it gets a lot of exposure as it is my favorite movie right now. The whole audience was laughing during the movie as well as gasping at certain moments.
