Did you know

Tom Cavanagh had a reoccurring role on Scrub's as Zach Braff's brother and eventually Sarah Chalke's love interest.

The opening of the film shows a group of students interacting with the computer, and one girl laughs when the computer says, "The Aristocrats!" That is the punch line to a famous, dirty joke that reportedly was Johnny Carson's favorite joke and was the subject of the Penn Jillette documentary The Aristocrats (2005).

Anna Belknap's debut.

Mildly entertaining rom-com that plays more like a TV movie.

While not fully golden, this nice romantic comedy is far from leaden, so its truly alchemy!
