Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After having online chat room chats for three weeks, "Thonggrrrl14" convinces "Lensman319" to meet in person in a public place, they being up front that they are a fourteen year old girl and thirty-two year old man respectively. They are indeed precocious fourteen year old Hayley Stark and thirty-two year old photographer Jeff Kohlver. Their interactions, including their meeting, are laced with indirect sexual innuendo, most specifically on Hayley's part, although Jeff is clear also in an indirect manner that he does not have sex with minors. Regardless, Hayley is further able to convince Jeff to continue their face-to-face at his place. There, both Hayley and Jeff's true intentions come to light, their meeting which was no accident on either side, and the intentions which may be incompatible and have serious and deadly consequences.

| Trivia | On the DVD commentary Patrick Wilson recalled that while filming on the roof, he had to shoot a scene where he yells, "You're not gonna shoot me," five times. After the third or fourth take someone within earshot - not part of the film crew - called the police thinking an actual attack was occurring. See more » |

| Quotes |
Jeff Kohlver:
Look. I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in. Hayley Stark: [as if narrating a headline] Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty. [speaking as a defense attorney] Hayley Stark: "Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction." Jeff Kohlver: I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen? Hayley Stark: Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really? Jeff Kohlver: It'll ruin my career, ruin my life. Hayley Stark: Well, didn't Roman Polanski just win an Oscar? See more » |
