Trivia
After multiple cuts and dubbing out language, the film went from a R rating to PG-13. Winona Ryder was very disappointed in the final cut of the film and did not promote it when released. She also has issues with the last minute title change from "The Girl You Want" to "Boys".

Goofs
Before Baker falls asleep away from the fair, the trees closest to him have all of their leaves. In the morning, both are almost bare.

not romantic and not dark enough

Patty Vare (Winona Ryder) hurts herself falling off of a horse. Prep school students Murphy and Cooke find her unconscious and tell older kid John Baker Jr (Lukas Haas). Baker brings her to his dorm after she refused hospital or going home. Rumors spread that there's a girl. Officer Kellogg Curry (John C. Reilly) is investigating Patty. He's looking for a stolen car and the missing Bud Valentine (Skeet Ulrich).

First, it's not romantic to sneak an unconscious girl into your dorm room. She suffered a concussion and he doesn't get her medical treatment. It's more than creepy and not cute at all. Lukas Haas is borderline sleazy with his creepy smile. The other problem is that her secret is rather disappointing. It really needs to be some crazy murder that's she's responsible for or something at that level. It's not dark enough and this movie is definitely not romantic.
