Actor trivia shoehorn/meta moment.


* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: On a meta level; Creator/CameronCrowe's mother and sister, as in the movie, had not gotten along in RealLife, but after the movie came out, they reconciled.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Music/AlvinAndTheChipmunks' "Christmas Don't Be Late" can be heard over the opening credits. Creator/JasonLee, who plays Jeff, later went on to star in the [[Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks live-action series]] of films.
** Creator/RainnWilson would voice ComicBook/LexLuthor in several [=DC=] animated films and Creator/RayPorter would play ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''.

jagger was already over 50 at the time of the movie's release; this would probably fit better under It Will Never Catch On

* ValuesDissonance: While Penny is barely conscious from a drug overdose, William quips about how many men she's been with before [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kissing her]] in what's portrayed as a heartwarming moment in a ComingOfAgeStory. This would ''not'' go down well today.

** Similarly, three of the Band-Aids playfully forcing William to engage in sexual acts to "deflower" him of his virginity status is treated as a fun, positive experience for him. Seeing as though William makes it very clear that he's ''far'' below the age of consent during the events of the film, seeing three grown adults essentially commit statutory rape on him is more than a little uncomfortable to watch in the modern day.

* AwardSnub: Despite the acclaim it received (including a special citation as Creator/RogerEbert's favorite film of 2000), the movie failed to receive a Best Picture nomination. Particularly notable as it still managed to win an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for its Screenplay over ''Film/ErinBrockovich'' and ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', which were both actual Best Picture nominees that year (and in the case of the latter, the eventual winner).
