More IMDB trivia:

Richard Linklater cast his daughter Lorelei Linklater as Samantha because she was always singing and dancing around the house and wanted to be in his movies. At about the third or fourth year of filming, she lost interest and asked for her character to be killed off. Linklater refused, saying it was too violent for what he was planning (Lorelei eventually regained her enthusiasm and continued with the project).

she was kind of annoying before she left to UT in the movie so makes sense lol

Saw this a few days ago. Really uncanny how similar it was to my boyhood.

Trivia from IMDB:

The baseball game that Dad brings Mason and Samantha to was a real Brewers / Astros contest, held on August 18, 2005. The Astros' Jason Lane actually did hit a home run down the left field line (precisely where the camera was pointing) during the only inning, the 2nd, that the crew shot on-field action. However, in the film, Mason reports afterwards that the Astros "won it on Lane's three-run homer," while in reality, it was a solo home run, and the Astros lost when Roger Clemens gave up four runs in the seventh inning.

Just watched the movie last night (was terrific, even though some of my friends complain that "nothing happens in that movie"), and was curious as to whether I was at that particular Astros game, so I did some digging. Turns out that this link indicates that the Astros game in the movie includes footage from two different Astros games, one where Clemens was pitching, and another from when Lane hit a 3 run shot.
