Trivia
Since the real sisters and their friends are protected by Canadian law and their information is sealed, there was no way of knowing who they were as people. Director Stan Brooks then made everyone in the young cast go home and write an essay about their character - what their favorite music was, their favorite food, and so on. Zoe Belkin wrote that Ashley is anorexic, doesn't eat and has body issues. If you watch the movie there's a cafeteria scene were she chooses Jell-O and the entire meal cuts out but she never eats any.

Goofs
During the main titles, while pulling the U-Haul trailer, the family passes the Atlas Pawn Shop twice, going in different directions.

Quotes
Beth Anderson: We lied about killing our mom. We like to mess with people a lot.
Detective Santiago Gates: That's a pretty sick thing to be telling people.
Beth Anderson: Well, what can I say? We're pretty messed up. But there is a big difference between being a pathological liar, and a murder.

"Good Lighting Can Hide Anything!"...

Inseparable sisters, Sandra and Beth Anderson (Abigail Breslin and Georgie Henley) have had a hard life. Their mother (Mira Sorvino) is a hopeless alcoholic, dragging her kids through her world of blackouts and chronic unemployment.

Mum is a truly maddening individual, especially when it comes to her disregard for the welfare of her children, leading to violence and sexual abuse by her idiot boyfriends.

When things finally reach a breaking point, Sandra and Beth decide to take drastic, irreversible measures to remedy the situation.

PERFECT SISTERS is a mostly grim, sometimes humorous movie, loosely based on true events. It goes to great lengths to show not only their mother's outrageous behavior and inability to control / live her own life, but also the cold, heartless attitude of the sisters themselves. Their friends are equally disengaged from humanity, choosing to help with the scheme for "fun".

Picture the girls from HEAVENLY CREATURES, merged with the sisters from GINGER SNAPS, hanging out with the kids from RIVER'S EDGE, and that comes close to this film's overall atmosphere.

The ironic ending will probably pi$$ off many viewers! Others will be moved by it...
