a nice touch noticed after re-watching
On second viewing, near the beginning where the "cursed" guy takes the main actress out on a date to the movies, they play a game guessing who among nearby strangers would they want to switch places with.
The guy surprises her by pointing to a little boy, saying it was because he had his whole future ahead of him... however, we know his real reason is cuz he's being chased by this deadly curse.
