Cast :Evan (Ashton Kutcher) Andrea (Melora Walters) Kayleigh (Amy Smart) Lenny (Elden Henson) Tommy (William Lee Scott) Cast


Fun Stuff :Trivia: During Evan's penultimate flashback (the one after which he wakes up in the mental hospital), there is a quick succession of shots with people making funny faces. One of the people appearing on several pictures is co-director Eric Bress. Goofs: Continuity: When Evan is talking to Kaleigh about her ever wondering what could've happened if they had gotten together (in the version in which Evan has no arms), Kaleigh offers him a granola bar. He tries to grab it with his prosthetic hand, but he breaks it, making the bar fall to the floor. A few seconds later he is holding the granola bar in his hand. Fun Stuff


Memorable Quotes :[first lines] [reading aloud as he writes a note] Evan: If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her. [last lines] [director's cut] Tommy: True happiness can only be achieved through sacrifice, like the sacrifices our parents have made for us to be here today. Kayleigh: Woo-hoo! Great, Tommy!

Review :The critics Most of people (including me) gave good critics Bad critics from “expert” movie critics My opinion A 9.0 of 10 stars movie Excellent soundtrack (includes one of my favorite songs of Oasis) The message: little decisions can make big changes. Highly Recommended A must-have in your collection Review
