* AwardSnub: It got a surprising Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay in 1990, but, with it being the lone nomination for the film, it likely never had a chance. However, the category was actually a bit weak that year, with a trio of lesser films by good writer-directors (''[[Film/Alice1990 Alice]]'', ''[[Creator/BarryLevinson Avalon]]'', ''Film/GreenCard'') and the eventual winner ''[[Film/Ghost1990 Ghost]]'' being more of a crowd-pleaser than an innovative bit of cinema, so you can make a case for ''Metropolitan'' as the most deserving in hindsight.

Creator/RichardLinklater also seemed to have taken some influence from it for ''Film/DazedAndConfused''; Slater was sort of a Texas [[TheStoner Stoner]] version of Charlie, and the Mitch[=/=]Pink dynamic has echoes of Tom and Nick from this film.
