Trivia:

When Eric runs out of his apartment irritated by barking dog, you can see a car parked next to his house. It's actually an old Russian "Zhiguli VAZ 2104" produced by VAZ car factory (Volzhski Avtomobilny Zavod) from the middle of '80 till present day. more

Goofs:

Continuity: When Arkin comes to visit Claire at her group therapy room there's a cut of Arkin talking with the first person that approach him. Then we see a cut of that person talking with Arkin. Followed by a cut back to Arkin responding to that persons answer. During the first cut of Arkin we clearly can see someone in the background walking downstairs. That person walks down the same steps when we see the second cut of Arkin talking. more

If you're an Ann Fan it is worth a shot, 25 October 2008
6/10
Author: Rusbuc1985 from United States

Since there was no publicity for this film, my expectations for it were pretty low.

It has a slow pace and at times things don't make sense, but they do as the story moves forward. You just have to give it time.

At times it doesn't quite work and in a way doesn't break much new ground, but Ann gives a low key performance that I liked.

And the film did make me think about my life and what it is like to deal with death in sudden fashion, like a plane crash. Don't think they'll be showing this one as an in-flight movie.

I've heard that Sony kept this film quiet so it wouldn't interfere with the Oscar buzz Ann Hathaway's getting for Rachel Getting Married. Which makes sense, but I feel bad for all the people that worked on the film. They must feel abandoned by the studio.
