- TriviaThe other actors were protective of Andrew Cassese, who played Wormser, and along with director Jeff Kanew made sure that the young actor did not witness or play a main role in the many scenes that earned the film its R rating. Cassese, however, was allowed to see the film when he was still below 17 years old and was very surprised by what he'd missed in filming.
- GoofsThe label for the brown bottle of "Liquid Heat" changes position between shots to always face the camera.

Featured review
Although it may be all a bit silly and quite clichéd, this is nevertheless a good film of its type, with main characters that are appealing and a great title song, scored by Thomas Newman, who would later compose the scores of movies such as 'American Beauty'. The film does not really go anywhere much at all, the jokes work only about half the time, and it is all a bit short on its content, but despite all of this, the film has a pleasant and rather enjoyable nature not common to the average college comedy, and this makes it a rather uniquely likable film overall. It may not be a great piece of cinema, but it is quite good entertainment.
