Trivia
The writer, Mike Makowsky, was a middle school student in the Roslyn School District during the events of the film.

Goofs
When Frank is being questioned by the school's auditor about his flights to London, the auditor mentions Frank had booked first class on Concorde. In reality all Concorde seats were the same class, so there were no first class.

Quotes
Frank Tassone: My problem? My problem is you. Carol, it's the people who trot their poor children out like race horses at Belmont; who derive some perverse joy out of treating us like low-level service reps. I mean, do you remember the teachers who sat with you, who held you by the hand, who taught you to add and subtract, or showed you Gatsby, Salinger, for the first - Mockingbird even? Do their names escape you? Are their faces a blur? You listen to me! You don't want to see us as people because that is not convenient for you. You just leave us behind, at will. Never think about us again. You might forget, but we don't. We never forget. Ever.

Watch it for Jackman and Janney

This is a film no one wants to watch, just by looking at the premise. But I was keen when I saw Hugh Jackman was involved as the lead. And from the first scene of the movie, you can tell it is going to be a good movie based on his character. Alison Janney is a pleasure to watch in this film as well. The movie is carried on the shoulders of these two accomplished actors and they make the sleazy embezzlement affair enjoyable to watch.
