Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJay Hernandez had to learn many of his Spanish lines phonetically because he does not speak fluent Spanish.
- GoofsNicole's hair color changes from blonde to red and back to blonde. The whole movie her hair is blonde except during the hotel scene when she is outside wrapped in a blanket and tells Carlos she wants to be good for him it is red. The next shot, when they are in the car taking her back home her hair is blonde again and stays that way through the rest of the movie. The red hair was due to Kirsten Dunst starting to film Spider-Man (2002)
