Trivia
"The Boyfriend School" was the film's working title until the marketing department at Hemdale, its studio, learned that the title tested poorly in its surveys. Alternate titles considered included: "Two of Gus", "What She Knew", and "Don't Tell Her It's Me", with the latter title finally making the cut. However, the film was retitled "The Boyfriend School" for cable television airings, as well as the DVD release.
Quotes
