1 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Even with a scant $14 million budget, it took a loss with a measly $11 million global take. Adjusted for inflation, it currently has the worst opening for a movie opening in 3,000 screens ''ever,'' and it ended up being the lowest grossing Nickelodeon movie to date. Unsurprisingly Josh Schwartz has yet to direct another big-screen feature (his only subsequent directing credit as of March 2024 is an episode of ''Series/LookingForAlaska''). |
2 | * DawsonCasting: The only teenage main character that was actually played by a teenager is Wren (played by the then-19 Victoria Justice); all the other teen characters were in their twenties, with the oldest (Thomas [=McDonnel=] and Osric Chau, both 26) being only eleven years younger than Chelsea Handler, who played Wren's mom. |
3 | * FollowTheLeader: The movie liberally borrows the tagline and "worn-out heroes" poster from ''Film/TheHangover''. |
4 | * StarDerailingRole: Music/VictoriaJustice was already headlining the Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} KidCom ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' when its executives tried to make her into a movie star with this film. After it became a poorly-received BoxOfficeBomb, the Nick higher-ups lost interest in promoting Justice and cancelled ''Victorious'' within a year. It certainly didn't help matters that her ''Victorious'' co-star Music/ArianaGrande was simultaneously turning herself into a much bigger sensation than anyone could've anticipated. |
