Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally written to take place in 1982 when E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) first came out, but budget cuts obligated it to be set in 2002 when it was made. Coincidentally, the 20th anniversary edition of E.T. played in many cinemas in 2002, so that plot point didn't have to be changed.
- GoofsThe early scenes, when the family first arrive in New York, are set in summertime, yet they drive through Midtown at night past people dressed in winter clothing, a Christmas-season Target billboard, and the Radio City Music Hall Christmas tree.
- Quotes
Johnny: Are you okay little girl?
Christy: Don't "little girl" me. I've been carrying this family on my back for over a year, ever since Frankie died. He was my brother too. It's not my fault that he's dead. It's not my fault that I'm still alive.
Johnny: Ah, Christy.
Christy: Mom was always crying because he was her son. But he was my brother too. I cried too... when no one was looking. I talked to him every night.
Ariel: She did, Dad.
Christy: I talked to him every night, until...
Johnny: ...until when?
Christy: Until I realized I was talking to myself.
