The movie that the video store customer didn't want to pay a late fee on because it wasn't good and broke half-way through was The Homeboy (2001), also directed by Dave Gebroe.
The opening title sequence was originally going to be snapshots of Danny and Denise's first meeting.
The rehearsal period for this movie was three weeks.
David Gebroe wrote the role of Officer Carp for a friend who dropped out of the picture at the last minute.
