A single mother's life is thrown into turmoil after her struggling, rarely-seen younger brother returns to town.
What's left behind the scenes
- Matthew Broderick, a close friend of director and screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan, was the first actor to book a role in the film. He went to the director's house, read the part of Brian in the script, and asked if he had a chance to audition for it. Kenneth Lonergan replied that he didn't need to worry and the role was already his.
- The role in the film was Rory Culkin’s first serious acting job. The director was very impressed with his acting talent, but faced difficulties when he had to make the boy laugh or smile in front of the camera. In several cases, as a last resort, he had to enlist the help of Mark Ruffalo, who tickled him slightly out of camera view.
- The scene where Rudy walks home from school in heavy rain was filmed with the help of the local fire department, which sprayed water through a hose from the highest ladder. The small role of the bank secretary was played by Kenneth Lonergan’s wife, Genie Smith-Cameron. The director himself played Pastor Ron, to whom Laura Linney's character turns for advice.
- The pool scene with Terry and Rudy was filmed in a real pool hall where the crew often relaxed after work.
