- AnecdotesAlong with playing one of the main characters, Elisha Cuthbert was also an associate producer for the movie.
- GaffesWhen Connor is describing Hershey PA to Dot, he tells her that they give out free M&Ms. They are a product of the M&M/Mars company, not Hershey. Hershey does in fact give out free candy but it is always a product of theirs, not the competition.

Dot: [voice-over] I used to fantasise that when I died, there wouldn't be a funeral. Having led my life invisibly, *no one* would come to mourn. But being invisible isn't worth it in the end... because when you're invisible, other people may not see you... but you can't help seeing other people.

This is what I call the evil teen genre. Some young flesh in tight clothes with some sociopathic behavior thrown in for good measure. The acting is television quality but the script is intriguing enough that you won't notice until after mulling over how the whole story unfolded and whether it is really plausible or not. I don't find this story plausible and the acting really falters like a broken ankle at the end, but I also know sloppier crimes have gone undiscovered so I guess it could happen.
It's just not really what you would expect though, so be prepared to go.. HUH??? WHAT??
I liked a lot of the dialog in the movie- the bickering was well written.
PLOT: a deaf girl who is the daughter of a recently dead relative shows up on a family's doorstep and they take her in. The family's daughter is NOT amused and the family's father has a rather odd relationship with the rest of the family. Let's just say he's a self-centered asshole with a bad temper that isn't above getting physical over a verbal argument and he has a fetish.
Adding this mysterious deaf girl to their already weird suburban hell mix makes for some interesting fireworks. You will be disappointed with the ending but it's a fantastic story with pretty girls( no skin to speak of, though- BOO!!) up until the last 12 minutes or so where it kind of careens into a ditch and comes to a hasty halt.
