Pieces of April



Pieces of April is a 2003 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Peter Hedges. In his commentary on the film's DVD release, Hedges says the inspiration for his screenplay was twofold — his mother's battle with and death from cancer, and a true story about a group of friends whose plans to prepare a communal Thanksgiving dinner were thwarted by a broken stove.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Bobby goes out, April is shown with a bandage on her finger, long before she actually cuts it.
  • Writer/director Peter Hedges (II) gave Derek Luke an audition without knowing anything about Antwone Fisher (2002). After seeing the audition, Hedges not only cast Luke but described the experience as the best audition since Leonardo DiCaprio tried out for What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
  • Although the film is dedicated to Peter Hedges (II)' mother, who died of cancer, the only true aspect he incorporated is the line where Joy talks about the fictional singer "Smack Daddy". The line is almost word for word what Peter's mother told him while in the hospital, the only exception being that she was talking about Barry White.
  • The logo on Bobby's t-shirt is that of the German army (Bundeswehr).
