• Dawson Casting: 20-something Carrey Mulligan as 16-year-old Jenny.
• Fake Brit: American actor Peter Sarsgaard plays David.
• Hey, It's That Guy!:
  • Kitty Bennet/Sally Sparrow as Jenny.
  • Adelle as Miss Stubbs.
  • Doctor Octopus as Jenny's dad.
  • Jane Bennet/Miranda Frost as Helen.
  • Elinor Dashwood/Sybil Trelawney/NannyMcPhee as the headmistress of Jenny's school.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Emma Thompson appears as a ruthless and anti-Semitic schoolmistress.
  • Rosamund Pike as Dumb Blonde Helen is a particularly odd example, not just because Pike normally plays intelligent ice queens, but because in real life Rosamund Pike basically is who Jenny wants to be (trained cellist, bilingual in French, and studied English Literature at Oxford).
