Goofs:
Factual errors: Indiana license plates are numbered by county. While the movie takes place in St. Joseph county (as indicated by patches on the sheriff's uniform), neither Lucia's nor Bill's plates match that county (or any neighboring ones). moreQuotes:
[about marrying Matt]Dedee: I just don't think it's something we should rush into.
Lucia: Oh, no, no. But bring another human life onto the planet - that's whim time.

I love, love, love this movie! Granted, you have to be able to appreciate an independent film and all that goes with it (some bad acting, strange random actors and a left-of-center plot line), but quite frankly this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. You don't sympathize with the main character, but you're not supposed to. It's not a feel good movie and it's pretty much going to make you want to kill her, but Christina Ricci is great at pulling off the bad girl. But it is easy to sympathize with her brother and it offers a lot of laughs about completely inappropriate topics. If you like indie films, Christina Ricci or movies that appeal to the gay community, then I would highly recommend it.
