    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jennifer Lopez provided clothes from her own wardrobe for her character, Claire, as a means of keeping the budget down.
    • Goofs
      After Noah defends Kevin from his bullies by beating one of them far too much, Vicky keeps Noah in her office and says that the bully's skull has been fractured. Despite such a serious violent assault during school time and on public school property, Noah does not seem to face any consequences from either the school or the local police. He is not arrested or held accountable to the injured teen's parents or even questioned by any one other than Vicky, the vice principal of the school.
    • Quotes
      • [from trailer]
      • Kevin: Do you wanna take a cookie for the road?
      • Noah Sandborn: [chuckles] I love your mother's cookies.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a moment of strong gory detail (close-up eye gouging) in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.
