It was filmed up here at Columbia (film crews, the trailers, and female extras in sorta-sexy '50s-style clothing were around campus for a few weeks; never saw Ms. Roberts, though), so Jen may get extra nostalgia effects...

Coolfer, I think the film's photographer used soft lighting, a blanket AND Vaseline to get that soft glow effect.

Has there ever been a more airbrushed photo? (And if so, why couldn't it have been Jacko's putrid Santa Barbara County mug shot?)

My main motivation is to see my street and local restaurant, which were in the filming last winter (though I've no idea if they made the cut).

apparently Tori Amos sings a few songs in this movie, standing up at the mic instead of sitting at the piano. for her fans, that should be pretty exciting.. that's my main motivation for going to see it.
