Trivia[]
- The character Steven Clark (Aris Alvarado) was based on the real American idol contestant William Hung, who's audition went viral and was mocked to the point of making him perform on stage in the finale. He didn't know they were mocking him and laughing at him. He believed they were cheering him on.
- The film director and writer Bobcat Goldthwait wrote the script for his wife as a Christmas present.
- The plot about a terminally ill man shooting rude people is possibly inspired in the short story "To All The Rude People" by Jack Ritchie, published in 1961 and compiled in the anthology by Alfred Hitchcock "Not for the Nervous".
- During the finale, the TMZ host mentions Robin Williams. Williams was good friends with director Bobcat Goldthwait and had starred in Goldthwait's 2009 film World's Greatest Dad.
- Feature film debut of Maddie Hasson.
