    • Quotes

      Toby Tucker: The song was mine.

      Bianca Piper: Yeah I'm not surprised cause it was a piece of shit... and so are you.

    • Crazy credits
      At the start of the closing credits there is a gag reel in between introducing each actor/actress.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice, at which stage the distributor was advised it was likely to receive a 15 classification but that their preferred 12A could be obtained by removing a scene involving strong sex references. When the film was submitted for formal classification, this sequence had been removed and the film was classified 12A.

    More than Watchable.

    Without the chemistry btw its two leads, this movie would not have worked. Plus, the supporting cast of adults helped. This movie was better than it had any right to be.

    Whitman has always been a talented actress. I look forward to her eventually getting some truly meaty movie roles.
