Trivia:
The films story is inspired by two different head injuries that director Jill Sprecher endured. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: There is another goof in the scene where Walker talks to his students about acceleration/deceleration. As he writes his (erroneous) expression on the blackboard, a student says: "Don't you have to assume that the velocity is constant during the deceleration period?", and Walker partly agrees. Deceleration means that the velocity (or rather the speed) diminishes -- constant velocity means there is no deceleration or acceleration. moreQuotes:
Troy: Luck is the lazy man's excuse.Gene: Ah, spoken like a man who's had nothing but luck.

Imagine! A movie with no car chase, no special effects, no big stars, simple piano music, and no special sets. Just ordinary people struggling with daily life and trying to find the secret of happiness. Four basic stories interweave with each other, all examining the same human issues. Alan Arkin practically walks away with all the acting honors, but there are no weak roles or acting. What a joy to watch a profound movie, simply made.
