* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/ChristinaRicci was originally tapped to play Enid, but by the time the movie was produced, it was decided she was too old to play the part, and so Creator/ThoraBirch got the role instead.

* AcclaimedFlop: The film made its budget back barely ($7 million budget, $8 million box office) and has only gained traction in the years that followed its release. However it was praised by critics, received a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination - and Thora Birch and Steve Buscemi got Golden Globe nominations for their roles as Enid and Seymour, respectively.
* CreatorBacklash: Steve Buscemi was so uncomfortable playing Seymour he would immediately change his clothes as soon as shooting stopped every day - just so he could look completely different.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: On the other hand, its depiction of racial sensitivity is clearly a product of the pre-Obama era, as the issue of racism is treated like a Pandora's Box rather than something to directly confront and address.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/ChristinaRicci was originally tapped to play Enid, but by the time the movie was produced, it was decided she was too old to play the part, and so Creator/ThoraBirch got the role instead.
** Daniel Clowes always wanted the male "Satanist" to be played by Anton [=LaVey=].

* TheCameo: Will Forte of all people has a cameo for a second. This is his first film role and he's uncredited, making this a retroactive example. He appears when Enid and Seymour visit Anthony's.



* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/ThoraBirch gained 20 pounds for the role of Enid. Likewise the man playing the male Satanist is the film's production designer, chosen at the last minute, and had to shave his head completely bald for it.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: The movie's datedness actually shines and adds a lot of unforeseen aesthetic appeal: a VHS rental store, an adult rental store, personal & employment newspaper ads, no cell phones and no emailing.
