Trivia

Spoilers (1)
The release date for the film was pushed back after the similarly-themed Chasing Liberty (2004) flopped at the box office. This movie flopped even harder.
Vera Wang designed all of Katie Holmes' ballgowns for this film. (Her originals usually retail for over $10,000 each.)
The movie James (Marc Blucas) and Samantha (Katie Holmes) are watching in the movie theater is The Girl Can't Help It (1956). Director Forest Whitaker was originally set to direct a remake of the 1956 comedy after the release of this movie.
In the scene where Samantha (Katie Holmes) and Mia (Ameriie) are sliding down the slope on the Slip'N Slide, Katie Holmes inadvertently pulled down Ameriie's sweatpants while struggling to climb over the hay bales, exposing Ameriie's bottom in view of the camera. Forest Whitaker chose to leave this in the final cut of the film, since it was a spontaneous event, and quite in line with the carefree nature of the scene.
This film is dedicated to composer Michael Kamen.
Marc Blucas also played a graduate student who romances a freshman at his university while hiding the fact that he is actually a secret agent in the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997). Ironically, Jerry O'Connell generated the story for First Daughter (2004) as a vehicle for himself (in the Blucas role) and his then-girlfriend, "Buffy" actress Sarah Michelle Gellar (in the Holmes role); and Katie Holmes was originally offered the role of Buffy in the series (but she turned it down).
Both Michael Keaton and Katie Holmes have appeared in the Batman franchise. Keaton played the titular role in 1989's 'Batman' and its 1992 sequel, while Holmes played Bruce Wayne's love interest Rachel Dawes in 2005's 'Batman Begins'
