    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jennifer Lopez character has no name.
    • Goofs
      J Lo said Joseph Fiennes' character, "Lovell" , was S.A.S training the unit she was serving with. If that was true, why was he wearing a Parachute Regiment beret? Did they not have a military advisor on set either? I'm ex UK military and that is NOT how you wear a beret! He looked more like Frank Spencer.
    • Quotes
      • The Mother: [the bowl of meat is in front of Zoe] Eat.
      • Zoe: I can't.
      • The Mother: Yes, you can.
      • Zoe: [eyes filled with tears, she shakes her head] Not eating Bambi's mom.
      • The Mother: That's isn't venison. The deer is to hang for the meat to tenderize. Besides, that was a stag, so... it would be Bambi's dad.
      • Zoe: What is this, then?
      • The Mother: Rabbit. Thumper.
      • Zoe: I'm not eating a rabbit either.
      • The Mother: [sighs] Listen to me. That rabbit had a better life than any cheeseburger you ever ate.
      • Zoe: It had a beautiful life until you shot it.
      • The Mother: I trapped it.
      • Zoe: [sarcastically] Much better.
      • The Mother: Let me tell you something, kid. There's nothing you ever ate your whole life that didn't come from violence.
      • Zoe: Tofu.
      • The Mother: Half of Paraguay was burned and deforested for soy plantations.
      • Zoe: Cheese.
      • The Mother: Those cows are impregnated just so they can be pulled on all day.
      • Zoe: Gross.
      • The Mother: Gmph.
      • Zoe: Cashew cheese.
      • The Mother: I knew a mercenary in the Ivory Coast. He said they fought a civil war over cashews.
      • Zoe: [tearfully] I wanna go home.
