Dies und das:

Director Jeremy Brock chose Rupert Grint for the leading role was because he felt that he had been underused in the third and fourth installments of the Harry Potter franchise.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When Evie and Ben are looking at the lake it is flat calm. When the camera looks at them the lake behind has waves.

Dialogzitate:

Evie Walton: Have a drink!
Ben: I don't drink.
Evie Walton: Go on! It'll make you feel better.
Ben: No, it won't.
Evie Walton: [annoyed] It was a key. I swallowed it. Frankly, you should be flattered! Now... I insist you have a drink.
Ben: I'm underage!
Evie Walton: Well... how old are you?
Ben: Seventeen and a half.
Evie Walton: So young and so pedantic... One glass.

Great movie

I just saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and i have to say that i thought it was amazing. The combination of humor and sincerity really made the movie worthwhile. The movie was about a seventeen year-old boy whose mother and father are very religious. The seventeen year old, Ben, decides to work for a retired actress who teaches him about girls and driving and life. It is very comical and touching. I honestly have to say that it is now one of my favorite movies. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. If you didn't catch one of the showings at the film festival, it's supposed to come out in theaters later in the year. Please go see it! It is a great film.
