Trivia

As Greg Berlanti was a writer/producer of the series Dawson's Creek, he showed the script for this movie to one of his favorite actors Kerr Smith who was part of the Dawson's Creek cast. Kerr loved the script so much that he agreed to cameo any role Greg offered.

Many of the cast felt their characters needed to wear necklaces for their roles so several bought their own and wore them on-set. This became a joke among the crew.

Director Greg Berlanti was allergic to the room used as Dennis' bedroom and directed many of those scenes from outside.
