Trivia

Director Charlie Loventhal named the lead character Charlie Fischer, essentially making this a self-insert fanfic with studio backing.

Cultural

This film vanished so completely that Paul Reiser never mentions it in interviews; it exists in a pre-internet dead zone where bad movies could truly disappear.
