      When Evie and Ben are looking at the lake it is flat calm. When the camera looks at them the lake behind has waves.
    • Quotes
      • Sarah: You're very angry, aren't you? Don't be. You're still God's gift. Every day God gives us is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
      • Ben: Fuck off, Sarah.
    • Crazy credits
      In the opening titles, the names of the main cast and crew are arranged around a map as if they were street names.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version is the director's cut where in the US version many scenes had to be cut in order to retain a PG-13 rating along with dubbing some F words to "Sod."
