1* CreatorCameo: Director Luke Greenfield is the man directing the porn movie towards the end.
2* DawsonCasting: Averted. Emile Hirsch was actually seventeen and many of his nude scenes had to be done with doubles as a result. Chris Marquette and Paul Dano were borderline, playing high school seniors at only nineteen years old, as was Cuthbert, who was 21 portraying 19-year-old Danielle.
3* DyeingForYourArt: Defied. Emile Hirsch was asked to shave his chest for his {{Shirtless Scene}}s. He refused because at seventeen he didn't want to shave off "my manhood".
4* EnforcedMethodActing: Timothy Olyphant's rings were scratching Emile Hirsch during the fight in the car, so he is in genuine pain.
5* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: Having got her start in ''24'', this marked Elisha Cuthbert moving into comedy. Aside from some horror roles - ''Film/HouseOfWax2005'' and ''{{Film/Captivity}}'' - she's focused almost exclusively on comedy since.
6* StarMakingRole:
7** This shot Elisha Cuthbert to the map as a sex symbol in the 2000s. She already had some notoriety due to ''Series/TwentyFour'' but this really made people know who she was.
8** Ditto Emile Hirsch.
9* ThoseTwoActors: Emile Hirsch, Chris Marquette and Olivia Wilde (who plays the small role of 'Kellie') would later go on to appear in ''Film/AlphaDog''.
10* ThrowItIn: The cigar falling out of Emile Hirsch's mouth was unscripted, but so in character, so the director left it in.
11* {{Tuckerization}}: The character Eli is based off Creator/EliRoth, according to WordOfGod.
12* TypeCasting: Elisha Cuthbert played a similar MsFanservice role in ''Film/LoveActually'' that same year (although it was a much smaller part).
13* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Kelly was nearly played by Matt Dillon. Timothy Olyphant passed on it twice before eventually accepting it.
