- Box Office Bomb: Budget, $20 million. Box office, $10,876,805. It opened at number five on January 30th and immediately fell flat before it was expelled after week nine. The critics compared it unfavorably to other teen comedies like The Breakfast Club.
- Cast the Expert: Desmond was played by Darius Miles, who was not an actor but a professional NBA player nearly halfway through his eventual ten year career. Funny enough, he never went to college, as he went straight from high school to the pros.
- Dawson Casting: Chris Evans and Darius Miles were 22 during filming. Averted with Scarlett Johansson who was 17 during filming.
- Fake American: Argentinian-born Leonardo Nam as Roy.
- Friendship on the Set: Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson became friends while working on this movie.
- Playing Against Type: At the time, Chris Evans was more likely to show up as a Jerkass, so it was rare for him to be The Hero.
- Those Two Actors: This was the first of eight (so far) movies with Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
