She kind of got it out of her system. She said 'Oh, that was fun—now I'm going back to school'." Sosie portrayed the main character Emily in a flashback, while the adult Emily was portrayed by Sosie's mother Kyra Sedgwick.[5][6] As Emily, Sosie sang ana cappella version of theDavid Bowie song "Life on Mars?", that was described in a review fromThe New York Times as "grotesquely funny".[7][8] Her brother, Travis Bacon, was cast in a smaller role in the film.[9] Kevin praised Sosie's work onLoverboy, but said that he would not be encouraging her to pursue acting further.[10]
