Trivia
The male lead was originally written for John Ritter, but his death stopped Peter Bogdanovich from wanting to make it. When Wes Anderson introduced him to Owen Wilson, he liked him so much that he decided to bring the movie back.

Goofs
(at around 20 mins) When Jane lets the German Shepherd, Shep, into a taxi, she says, "Good girl." Later she refers to him as a male: "Come on, boy."

Quotes
Arnold Albertson: Nobody can tell you where your place is, where is my place? Where is anybody's place? You wanna know where it is? Wherever you're happy, that's where your place is. And you're the best judge of that. In central park for instance some people like to feed the nuts to the squirrels but if it makes someone happy to feed squirrels to the nuts, who am I to say nuts to the squirrels?

Crazy credits
During the end credits, we see what happened to the main characters.

Alternate versions
The theatrical version released in 2014 runs 93 minutes. A high-definition video master of Peter Bogdanovich's original 113 minutes cut, titled "Squirrels to the Nuts", was discovered on eBay in October 2020 and purchased by James Kenney. This material was used by Adria Petty and Frank Marshall to restore Bogdanovich's director's cut, which premiered at the New York Museum of Modern Art in April 2022 and was later released for limited theatrical engagements and on digital platforms in February 2025. This version runs 115 minutes.

Broadway Therapy

Which is the "German" title the movie received when released there. They're funny that way ... But back to the movie, which is a very light affair (no pun intended) and has a lot of laughs and a really good vibe to it. There is much to like about this, especially if you like your comedy that way.

Imogen has a strange accent and some other actors go that way too, which may alienate some viewers, especially if they're used the persons to be doing different things. Like squirrels and ... not that's something else. You can sense though that every actor in this had fun shooting it and it translates onto the screen. A light but nice movie to watch
