Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Polish twins (Michael directs, Mark stars) previously made the acclaimed indie 'Twin Falls Idaho'—this was their descent into direct-to-DVD purgatory.
Hilary Duff was 23 playing a high school senior, which somehow makes the age-gap romance marginally less gross than if she'd been actual teen-aged—Hollywood math!
