Was this movie supposed to be set in Sarasota, Florida??


Ms. Pomeroy makes reference to a local bookstore at the Sarasota Mall. But the mountains at the beginning and end of this movie are clearly Southern CA. So what's up?

Rumble in the Bronx was supposed to be set in, you guessed it, the Bronx, and yet when they are on the beach the rocky mountains are in clear view behind them. I wonder if the same time-space vortex that sent him back to the correct universe also took both these movies on a little bit of a scenic route?

It's set in Middlesex, Virginia.
