Did you know
ā¢ Heather Matarazzo turned down reprising the role of Dawn Wiener in this film.
ā¢ The names of the characters Aviva, Bob, and Otto are all palindromes - as per the title of the film.
ā¢ As some characters' names are palindromes, this clever palindrome is trickier to catch. The exact second Dawn's videotaped funeral comes on screen, starting the film, in the upper right hand corner is the video's time. It clearly displays, 01.22:10 = a numerical palindrome, then continues counting down.
