Trivialidades:

Anthony LaPaglia's character, Michael Andretti, lives in Adelaide, where LaPaglia himself was born.

Errores:

Anacronismos: Christina was conceived in 1945, so born no later than 1946. She had Josie when she was seventeen years old, meaning Josie was born in early 1965 at the very latest (most likely earlier). Josie is seventeen in the film, which would point to a setting around 1980 (give or take). However, several things - costumes, use of mobile phones, musical references, city features, various props and decor items - come from around the turn of the century, some twenty years later.

Citas:

Josie Alibrandi: I swear, the phone companies'd go broke if it weren't for the Italians!

Definitely a Winner

It was refreshing to see a movie about a teenaged girl where I didn't know exactly what was going to happen at the end. It kept surprising me which is usually hard to do with this kind of film. The characters were also realistic which is also something you don't see to often these days.
