Trivia
The cabin in Ontario, Big Bear Lake is the same filming location as Dr. Falken's house in WarGames (1983).

Goofs
When Lucia (Lisa Kudrow) is following Jason and Martin into Canada, her map shows they are crossing at Windsor Ontario, but the next scene shows the border crossing in a rural setting. The crossing at Windsor is a 24 lane bridge crossing.

Quotes
Bill Truitt: [pulling on Jason's pierced nipple] Listen to me, you little grunge faggot. I survived my family, my schoolyard, every Republican, every other Democrat, Anita Bryant, the Pope, the fucking Christian Coalition, not to mention a real son of a bitch of a virus, in case you haven't noticed. In all that time since Paul Lynde and Truman Capote were the only fairies in America, I've been busting my ass so that you'd be able to do what you wanted with yours! So I don't just want your obedience right now - which I do want and plenty of it - but I want your fucking gratitude, right fucking now, or you're going to be looking down a long road at your nipple in the dirt! Do you hear what I'm saying?

Crazy credits
No minor was used to portray any sexually explicit conduct.

Tries way to hard to be "dark"

This movie was really difficult to watch. I love dark comedies and enjoy the dark side themes. However, the jokes were super cliche to me. All of the jokes about gay people that are meant to shock are boring. Maybe it's the year that the film was made but I felt the gay jokes were way too corny. I also despised most of the characters. Surprisingly, Lisa Kudrow's character was my favorite. She did a good job and was the only character who seemed "real". I watched this because I was studying voiceover and found Ricci's character annoying, including her voice. I did not want to hear her snobby BS so I had to turn it off half way through. This is dark comedy for people who are easily offended. I only found 2 jokes in 1 hour "dark".
