    • Trivia
      Asked about this movie, Holly Marie Combs recalled, ''Lauren Holly [of Picket Fences] asked me to do a part in it with her husband Danny Quinn. I hadn't read the script, but I flew to Ohio during a break from Picket Fences. All I went off was what Lauren had told me. She was like, 'It's a great monologue, but I'm just a little nervous because you might have to kiss Danny.' I never thought that this one shot of me taking my shirt off could be freeze-framed into 15 different pictures. All you had to do was search for my name and the first thing that came up was 'Holly Marie gets naked'.''
    • Goofs
      During a sex scene involving Sharon, she can be seen putting a condom on what is clearly a prop of some sort (piece of wood, possibly). This error is only visible in some prints of the film including the full-screen VHS version. Other prints crop this out.
    • Alternate versions
      Different prints handle the Holly Marie Combs sex scene differently. In one version, Combs can be seen putting a condom on the character she's about to have sex with. In another version, the frame is cropped so that you cannot see what her hands are doing. (For the record, she is actually putting the condom on either a banana or a piece of wood.)

    OK Movie
    The movie isn't terrible, but it doesn't exactly stand out in my mind as a masterpiece of film making either. Let's be honest, the main reason most people are going out to rent this movie is for the chance to see Holly Marie Combs in her one and only nude scene. And while they are nice to look at, you only see her breasts on screen for about 5 or 6 seconds. It's a middle of the road movie for me, I give it a 5 out of 10.
