Trivia
In order to secure actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, whose agents were hesitant about the role due to the small budget, producers told her agents that Julianne Moore also desperately wanted the role and if she didn't say yes within that day, they'd give it to Moore.

Goofs
When Sutter and Holly are talking on her porch, Holly is looking up in some shots as though Sutter is higher than her (standing?) whereas in others he is looking straight at Holly and not down like he would be if he was standing (or higher). Both their heads are level with the same part of the chairs they are sitting on.

Throughout most of the movie, Sutter's car is a 1995-97 Honda Accord, but when he and Aimee sit on the back of the car, it is a 1993-94 Accord - note the smaller taillights.
Share this
When Bethany and Tara drive up next to Sutter and Ricky, a view from behind both cars reveals that they both have the same license plate number.
