The Man in the Moon marks Reese's film debut and she charmed the critics and fans with her vulnerable and mature portayal of Dani.

• Reese answered an open casting call for extras but the director was so impressed with her that she landed the leading role instead!

• "I love Elvis so much!" • "I wish I could be just like you. You're the smartest girl in school. You're so pretty it hurts. Boys fall all over themselves when you walk down the street. And I'm just a lump. You wouldn't know one if you fell over it." • "That was kid stuff, Maureen. We're too old for make-believe." • "Just like weed. That's me." • "Mama, do I have to wear a skirt? Well, who's so important that I have to wear a skirt?" • "Maureen, what's it like to kiss a boy?" • "If I do what I feel, I'll burst into million pieces and go flyin' the space." • "Maureen, have you ever liked somebody so much it made you sick?" • "I wanna know you more. I wanna know you all I can. I wanna know your hopes." • "I want you to be the first boy to ever kiss me." • "Nothing's the matter. I'm letting you kiss me." • "When two people really care, they try to understand things. Even when it's hard." • "You know, sometimes I think that nothing's ever gonna make sense again." • "I wish I could still talk to the man in the moon. Don't you?"
