Trivia
The original director was David DeCoteau, who departed the project on the fourth day of shooting.

Goofs
The visual effects after Josh falls into the lifeguard's mouth is wrong. He swallowed the punch, therefore the underwater effect is unnecessary

Could be a pilot for Disney Channel

I am also a fan of cult movies and independent film, so I gave this one a break...considering that it was from the low budget school of film-making, Full Moon no less. While the actors are relatively unknown, they are definitely not unwatchable. Just the opposite... If this was a pilot for the Disney Channel, they would have made it into a TV show. The movie has a strong appeal for preteens and its messages are straight forward with a creamy helping of cheese. The two leads that play Rudy and Josh have a pleasant cornball friendship that is warm and believable, a credit to the actors. Based on screenwriter Matthew Walsh's other films, its clear that the only flaw in this is film is his trademark stilted dialogue and clichéd elementary school scene ideas. You can't fault the cast or crew for this one. The EFX are pure Charlie Band, take the money and pocket it, then have a guy with a PC do them. Oh well. At least the director tried. Any high school nerd that hasn't had that fantasy of wanting a chance to rescue the school beauty from the jerky jock boyfriend...is just a frustrated kid himself.
