Anecdotes
When writer Tricia Fish moved to New Waterford at age 13 with her family, her six-year-old brother ran into their kitchen one day all bloody, and happily said, "I made a friend!" She incorporated this into the movie, in an identical scene with the character of Darcy, Lou's little brother.

Gaffes
The movie is set in the 1970's, and as the two girls (Moonie and Lou) are driving along the coast to the bonfire place, there is a visible blue Dodge Neon parked in one of the houses. Dodge Neon was introduced the mid-1990's.

Truly a Great Movie

I absolutely loved this movie. Delightfully entertaining, this movie takes you on a truly wonderful adventure. Based in a small Christian town, the story reveals heroine, Moonie Pottie (Liane Balaban) and her plot to escape the drudgery of her small town to pursue an arts scholarship in new york.

Moonie is a loner and an outcast who is very easy for many teenagers to relate to. She recieves a NY scholarship and discovers a best friend in the unwanted newcomer next door, an infamous boxer's daughter named Lou (Tara Spencer-Nairn). Upon discovering that her parents won't let her go to NY, Moonie comes up with a plan. The only way out of town is to Antigonish to have an abortion. So, Eventually, Moonie fabricates a rumor that she's become a 'slut' and fakes a pregnancy in order to be sent away. In between, we see a little Andrew McCarty as her teacher, Mr. Sweeny. All in all, I'd say it's the best movie I've ever seen.
