Directed by: Jodie Foster
Starring: Jodie Foster, Dianne Wiest, Harry Connick Jr., Adam Hann-Byrd, Alex Lee, Michael Shulman
Genres: Drama
Factual error: In one scene Fred Tate is explaining to his mom, Dede, what a 'lepton' is. He says first "A lepton is a Z-particle", then furthermore says "Do you know what protons and electrons are? [...] Well leptons are even smaller." In fact, electrons *are* a kind of lepton. Also, there is only one Z-particle, and it is quite different from leptons.
Fred Tate: My first grade teacher, Miss Nimvel, told Dede that I never paid attention. That I was probably retarded, and that I had a very limited future as a citizen of the United States. Then a week later, she said I should probably skip second grade, maybe even skip elementary school altogether.

Correction: It's a pool cue and it's in his bag when he is outside the building but as they show him walking away it isn't. He could have tossed it after finishing speaking to Eddie because he was upset about not going to play pool. There are a few secconds that we don't see of him walking away from the building.
