    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Toward the end of filming, Zac Efron had appendicitis. At first, Thomas Lennon advised Efron that it was, in fact, bad wind and advised him to hang upside down to cure it. What started out as a stomach ache, soon led to him checking it out after filming and having surgery the same night.
    • Goofs
      (at around 2 mins) In 1989, a shot of the crowd shows a student in the front row wearing a pink and purple band t-shirt by the 21st-century band Paramore.
    • Quotes
      • Mike O' Donnell: Scarlet, before you go through this, I want to remind you of September 7th, 1988. It was the first time that I saw you. You were reading Less Than Zero, and you were wearing a Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt. I'd never seen anything so perfect. I remember thinking that I had to have you or I'd die... then you whispered that you loved me at the homecoming dance, and I felt so peaceful... and safe... because I knew that no matter what happened, from that day on, nothing can ever be that bad... because I had you. And then I, uh... I grew up and I lost my way. And I blamed you for my failures. And I know that you think you have to do this today... but I don't want you to. But I guess... if I love you, I should let you move on.
      • [pretending to read a letter to Scarlet in divorce court]
    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits include photos of most of the main cast and crew when they were actually 17-years-old.
