Trivia This film was intended as a wide theatrical release; however, the film tested poorly and studio executives then considered going direct-to-DVD as a result. Ultimately the studio decided to give it a limited theatrical release in Texas (the home state of Jessica Simpson and Luke Wilson) in an attempt to generate interest and more accurately assess the film's box-office potential. After the film grossed only 1,190 dollars on eight screens, the studio decided not to expand the limited theatrical release any further. See more »

Quotes Katie: How could you do this to me?
Billy: Everything has changed for me here. I'm Billy 2.0 now. It's like *before,* I was an eagle.
[shakes his head]
Billy: Now I've just blossomed into, uhm... *a bigger eagle.*
Katie: That doesn't even make sense.
