Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Drew Barrymore failed to attend her first audition. Director Katt Shea wanted Drew for the part of Ivy, and arranged another audition which Drew Barrymore also failed to attend. After Shea spoke with Drew's agent and told her she was no longer interested in her for the lead, she pleaded with the director to give Drew another chance. Drew ended up auditioning at Shea's home, not knowing that the director had already decided she had the job. See more »
Goofs At the start of the film, a dog has been run over by a car. To put it out of its misery, Ivy kills it. As she does, blood splashes on Sylvie's face. However, in the next shot, the blood is nowhere to be seen. See more »

Quotes Sylvie Cooper: There's something about her. I don't know. Those lips. You know lips are suppose to be the perfect reflection of a woman's anatomy. Not that I'm a lesbian... Well. Maybe I am. No, definitely not. I told my mother I was just for shock value. She said "fine. As long as you don't smoke".
