Well I AM Curious!. Nice to meet you!.

My experience has proven that most movies of this nature are LOOSELY based on real events but often are FAR from reality and often give a distorted picture of the real world!. I wouldn't placd too much stock in the actual events depicted in this movie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

probably it was loosely based on some real event, somewhere, sometime and yes, i agree, it was a great movie!. big brothers or older relatives are the models for the younger set, good or bad!. because of this, all of us has got to kinda' watch what we say or do, and yes, this also applies to older females as well!.
