I remember going to the mall during the shoot. It got annoying cause you has to wait to walk by during takes since it was supposed to be winter and it was summer.

[@doritos4197]

the first scene just gave me a wave of nostalgia where i would look outside the window for like at least 15 mins then we would go into the pool I WAS SO EXCITED I WAS FREAKING OUT also the pirate ship I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO ON IT BUT WE COULDNT HSHSIEHSBDJ THEY WOULD HOST REAL LIFE SHOWS OF SEALS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MALL I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE A SEAL EAT A FISH FROM A WORKERS HAND also i think it was in the mall but GALAXY LAND WAS MY CHILDHOOD

I AM AM EXTRA IN THIS MOVIE! Edit didn't mean to hit post lol So the scene where Carmen gets the water ballon dropped on her by the kids? If you look in the background you'll be able to spot a decently large man (he had a belly, his name was Al, RIP) walking around some booths with a lady and two kids. One of those kids is me! Edit 2: Just went back and scoured the movie to find the specific scene, at 1:11:23 to the left of the screen you can see Al, he's wearing a blue shirt, and he has a kid with him that is me. We are very much out of focus and I can't quite make out Mum or my brother (They are much less distinct looking than Al, and it's not like we were the focus of the shot, so people walk in front of us for most of the scene but we are there!)

As some one who grew up close to the mall, and still currently I live less than a 10 minute drive away- most people I grew up with who were obsessed with the mall as children, and spend many days as teens milling around the mall aimlessly, we all avoid the mall now 😂 no one cares to go there. Too much of a “good-ish” thing I guess haha. The theatre is still decent. But I’d rather go to landmark anyways. But most of my community, we will only usually go there maybe 3 or 4 times a year for some clothes shopping or something.

​@@jannalam6861 its the tourists that drive me nuts. Way too slow. Takes forever to get from store to store because of the layout being all over the place. I live right next to the mall and honestly prefer shopping at cross iron mills in calgary because of how quick it is to get in and out.
