Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen 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.
- GoofsThe 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.
- Quotes
Lou Benzoa: This is crazy. Wish we had some sorta sign.
Boy: [the boy in the sweater and skirt walks up to them, smiling shyly] This was my mother's sweater. She was wearing it when she died, after she ate a grilled-cheese sandwich.
[he walks off]
Lou Benzoa: That's not... really helpful to us in any way, is it?
Moonie Pottie: I don't think so.
Lou Benzoa: He looked good, though.
Moonie Pottie: Yeah, he did.
