Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Jackie Kallen makes a cameo as a reporter—she reportedly hated the fictionalized romance and said 'I was too busy working to date.'
This bombed in 2004 (under $6M domestic) during peak 'women can't open movies' Hollywood logic—ironically proving its own point about systemic dismissal.
