This is Victoria Justice and Avan Jogia's third time working together; they previous worked together on "Victorious" and on the Nickelodeon TV-movie "Spectacular".
Peyton List is the only main actor who was actually the same age as her character while filming the movie. Her co-stars were all in their twenties at the time, even though they play her classmates.
Eden Sher also plays a similar 'nerdy' character as Sue Heck in The Middle.
This movie has the same premise as the 1984 movie Revenge of the Nerds, where a group of outsiders and smart kids get together and take revenge on the popular bullies. In Revenge of the Nerds, Ted McGinley played the main antagonist bully and he appears here as the school Principal, who ironically is a also a nerd hater.
Victoria Justice (Jodi)'s real-life boyfriend Pierson Fode made a cameo in the film congratulating Dave (Avan Jogia) after Jodi complimented him.
