Second part of actor/director Edward Burns' unofficial "Long Island" trilogy which began with The Brothers McMullen (1995) and concluded with No Looking Back (1998).
Shot on a budget of $3 million, considerably more than the estimated budget of $20,000 that Edward Burns's previous film The Brothers McMullen (1995) cost.
When Mickey and Hope come over to tell Francis and Renee about their spontaneous marriage, Renee's cigarette is obviously not lit, although it has been burned to create the illusion.
