This was Sinbad's first leading role in a movie.
The McDonald's that Kevin is seen visiting in Sewickley was an empty storefront. The small town of Sewickley, in which most of this movie was filmed, does not have a McDonald's, so they built a complete functional one that was open for business during the shoot and then closed and dismantled.
Second of three films that Phil Hartman and Sinbad appeared in together. The first one was Die Coneheads (1993) and the last was Versprochen ist versprochen (1996). However, they only share screen time in this film.
Sinbad ad-libbed much of his dialogue. During the scene where Kevin Franklin launches into a monologue about his alleged "scuba diving accident", Sinbad was meant to have different lines. Instead, he added his own lines and was encouraged to go wilder and wilder with each take until he delivered the lines that ended up in the film.
