Trivia

The movie was actually filmed in Fresno, California because the budget did not allow for the original filming location of Cleveland, Ohio.

Natasha Lyonne (Martha) and Fred Armisen (Gerald) were in a relationship at the time.

Fresno means "ash tree" in Spanish. One scene in the movie shows a place called Ash Tree.

Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall previously worked together in But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), also directed by Jamie Babbit.

Fresno is the fifth largest city in California.
