Character mistake: Sam and Maurey were watching TV news coverage of Kennedy's assassination (11/22/63). When Petey got home (around 12:05 PM MST), he tried to change the channel, then said, "Mom, Maurey won't let me watch 'Rocky'." Laurabel/Mom said, "You know he watches 'Rocky' every afternoon." But school was let out early due to the assassination, so Petey would normally be in school at noon and therefore not be able to watch "Rocky" at that time in the afternoon. (00:21:30 - 00:23:17)
Skipped Parts (2000)
Directed by: Tamra Davis
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mischa Barton
Trivia: The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated (11/22/63), school was let out early. When Maurey and Sam got to her house, it was 12:05 on the wall clock. When Sam went home, it was 12:25 PM. This makes it appear as though they knew about the assassination before it happened (around 12:30 PM), but Dallas falls under Central Standard Time (CST) and the movie is set in Wyoming, which is Mountain Standard Time (MST) or one hour behind CST. That is, 12 PM in Wyoming would be 1 PM in Dallas, Texas.
Dot: The guys paid a dollars apiece to find out if you're single.
Lydia Callahan: Tell the guys I have five husbands, each one rich, mean and jealous. I'll be rotatin' them through on a weekly basis.
Dot: That line will be all over the valley by breakfast.
Lydia Callahan: Oh, just tell 'em I own a rifle.
Sam Callahan: Mom, I hate when you talk about cute naked stuff I did when I was little.
Sam Callahan: Will you explain to me about women?
Lydia Callahan: Women are right, men are wrong, and that's all you need to know.
