* CreatorBacklash: While Sam Mraovich admitted in [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/the-man-behind-the-worst-gay-movie-of-all-time-doesnt-care-i#15ieq3d an interview]] that he was out of his league trying to make a full-length film with NoBudget and no real training in writing or making films, and that the end result was terrible from an audiovisual standpoint, he has no regrets about making the film, feels that it contained a valid message (though admitted it was delivered very poorly) and even considers it a MedalOfDishonor that it's spoken of in the same terms as films like ''Film/TheRoom''.

* CaliforniaDoubling: A Los Angeles park, for a park in Vermont. It doesn't work too well, since Vermont isn't known for its palm trees. Sam Mraovich later admitted to this screw-up, saying that he couldn't find anywhere in Los Angeles that looked like Vermont, and didn't have the time or money to actually film on location in that state, so just decided to film somewhere that at least looked nice.
