Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Evan first goes back and changes something, where does he go?

Answer: to the mail-box incident

Evan accidentally goes back to the mail-box incident and drops a cigarette onto his stomach, which causes a scar that wasn't there before. The second place he goes (this time he knows he's gone back in time) is into Kayleigh's basement to irradicate the memory of that certain disturbing incident with George (Kayleigh's father).

He never went back to the theater incident when Tommy first found out about Evan and Kayleigh.

2. When Evan tries to save his dog from Tommy, he gives Lenny a sharp piece of metal to free the dog with. Was this action necessary?

Answer: No

Evan actually got Tommy to willingly let the dog go. After freeing the dog, Lenny comes up behind Tommy and stabs him in the back with that sharp piece of metal. He is later institutionalized.

3. What happens to Evan when he tries save the woman and her baby from the dynamite in the mail-box the first time?

Answer: he becomes crippled

His arms are amputated and his legs disabled. Not only that, but Kayleigh, his only love, falls in love with Lenny and not Evan.

4. In any of the scenarios does Tommy not want to kill Evan?

Answer: Yes

In one of the scenarios he helps save the mother and her baby and becomes a Christian. Not only does he not want to kill Evan, but he even saves him from committing suicide!

5. Does Evan ever do something that leads to Kayleigh's death?

Answer: Yes

Twice! The first time Evan asks her what had happened down in George's basement when they were going to make that Robin Hood movie (he had blacked out and didn't remember it), and that made Kayleigh so depressed that she kills herself. The second time he tries to destroy the dynamite, that they had accidentally killed the mother and her baby with in the mail-box incident, by lighting it. Kayleigh (being only seven at this time) picks it up because it's sparkly and it blows up in her hand, killing her.

6. Evan becomes a frat boy in one of the scenarios. What is Thumper's reaction to Evan talking to him?

Answer: he gets angry and Evan backs up to the wall

Apparently Thumper doesn't like frat boys. Since Thumper and Evan had been such good friends in the first scenario, Evan asks Thumper for the time in the hall and Thumper reacts violently.

7. Who kills Tommy?

Answer: Evan and Lenny

Tommy attacks Evan while he's walking Kayleigh home, and Evan gets angry about all the wrong-doings Tommy had ever done to him, and kills him by accident. Lenny stabs him in the back in a different scenario (the dog incident). George did abuse Tommy, but he never killed Tommy.

8. "Why don't you go back then and SAVE ME!" Who said this quote?

Answer: Kayleigh

This is said during the scenario when Kayleigh is a hooker. This is probably the best line said in the trailer, but in the movie it seemed more average. I still love the line anyway. I'm pretty certain that she didn't actually believe him, but maybe she did.

9. What does Evan do in order to make his cellmate in prison believe that he can do what he does?

Answer: he goes to when he was 7 and impales his hands

He does accidentally burn his stomach with a cigarette early on in the movie, but that isn't to make someone believe him. He does get his arms blown off, but that was to save the mother with the baby, and it was when he was 13, not seven. He never slices his hand wide open.

10. What is the final event in the past that Evan goes back to and changes?

Answer: his first meeting with Kayleigh

He does go back to the incident in the basement with George second-to-last, but that messes things up more. He actually accidentally kills Kayleigh then. Then it turns out he never wrote the diaries, so then he had to watch home movies to go back in time.

He goes back to his meeting with Kayleigh and threatens to kill her and her family if she ever comes near him again. That changes everything for the better, Kayleigh and Tommy graduate and lead successful lives, while Lenny and Evan go about their own lives together.

The final scene in the movie showed Evan and Kayleigh running into each other in the street, and Kayleigh obviously had some deja-vu because she stopped and looked at him before continuing on with her day. I hope you enjoyed my quiz on this fantastic and moving film.
