Did You Know?
| Trivia | The real Stacie Andree, Dane B. Wells and Steven Goldstein can be seen as extras in the film. Stacie can be seen wearing a black cardigan behind Elliot Page (who portrays her) in the third Freeholder meeting, sitting in the right aisle seat of the second row. Dane portrays the police officer, between two taller officers, who is handed a box of ashes. Steven can be seen in the second Freeholder meeting, seated behind Steve Carell (who portrays him), holding a red sign and seated in the aisle seat of the right side second row (the same seat that the real Andree can be seen in, later in the film).

| Goofs | Laurel and Stacie first encounter each other at a volleyball game with each playing on opposite teams. Stacie serves to Laurel, whereupon Laurel's team successfully returns the ball and the game is over. However, in volleyball, only the side that is serving can score a point and they must also win by two. For the game to be over, Laurel's side would need to get the ball back to serve the winning point. The director may have decided to skip that in order to keep the story moving. See more » |

| Quotes |
[From Trailer]
[about Laurel's appeal being turned down] Steven Goldstein: This is an outrageous miscarriage of justice. Their next meeting we show up with 100 protesters. Dane Wells: Radicals and strangers from New York aren't going to convince these guys. Steven Goldstein: I am not a radical. I am a middle-class, Jewish homosexual from New Jersey. How about you, sweetheart? Dane Wells: I'm a straight, white, ex-Protestant, atheist cop. You okay with that, *sweetheart*? Steven Goldstein: I am. That is very hot. See more » |
