    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jessica Chastain's feature film debut.
    • Goofs
      Jolene can't be charged with kidnapping her son as she is his mother and still married to his father. At most she can be charged with custodial interference.

      Also, no matter how much money Brad has, it's almost impossible to get a civil annulment once the marriage is consummated (as evidenced by Brad Jr.) and they've lived together as man and wife..

      He would have to get a civil divorce.
    • Quotes

      • Kendra: 'Cause the girls are jealous of you.
    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits, "tattoo" is misspelled "tatoo."
