Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The Click Five were a genuine Billboard Hot 100 act with their hit 'Just the Girl,' making this arguably the most successful band to ever play kidnapped versions of themselves in a teen comedy.

Cultural

This film captures the exact moment when boy bands were dying and Disney Channel stars were ascending—Daniella Monet would later become a staple of Nickelodeon's 'Victorious,' making this her awkward caterpillar phase.
