Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJ M Sinclair's oft repeated remark that great writers steal derives from a statement generally attributed to T S Eliot that "Good writers borrow, great writers steal".
- GoofsLiam rips up the manuscript of his novel and throws the pages in the lake, where they float on the surface. In the next scene at the lake, there are no traces of the pages on the water's surface. Given the number of pages it's likely that at least some of the manuscript would still be floating in the water.

Interviewer: So, I thought we could start off by touching on the inspiration behind the novel. What exactly is it that drew you to tell this story?
Featured review
Proof that film is not an actor's medium
All the actors in this disjointed, completely unbelievable movie have been excellent in other worthier films. The premise had promise, but the director's execution is trying so desperately to be "serious", it ends up being unintentionally comical. Grant's character is a cartoon villain and Delpy is hilarious as his sphinx-like wife. Macormack is fine but basically wasted in the role. It even has a weird butler who knows more than he should, but we never find out what that is. The kid is a typical sullen, tortured teenager. Many plot developments can be seen from a mile away. The setting is pretty though.
