Roger Ebert invited Derick and Steven Martini to show the film at his 2000 "Floating Film Festival" which takes place on a cruise ship. When informed they'd have to share a small cabin with Jeff Dowd and 'Harry Knowles', the Martini's passed. Ebert was joking, of course, and the film and the Martinis showed up on the cruise.
The 'Amy Hathaway' character "Alison", who inexplicably weeps during sex in the film, was based on 'Derick Martini's' ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend showed up at a New York promotional screening and ran out of the theatre crying before the first reel ended.
Derick Martini met actress 'Amy Hathaway' on the film and began a relationship that lasted five years.
Steven Martini who is also a musician, wrote and performed the song "Curdory Penis" which plays over the closing credits of the film.
Once cast in the film, actor/musician 'Bill Henderson' inspired the Martinis to write a larger part for him
