Elizabeth: I don't think Rafe realized he'd just been appointed to save my life.
  • Jessica Lange was mentioned in the "Prozac Nation" book.
  • When Elizabeth Wurtzel is writing the piece on Bruce Springsteen, a pack of Morleys, the fictional cigarette brand from the The X-Files (1993) can be seen on her desk.
  • Filmed in 2000, Miramax films planned on releasing the film in late 2001, but shelved it indefinitely in the US. A number of reasons were given for the delay, from the unlikeable nature of the central heroine to writer Elizabeth Wurtzel's offensive comments about 9/11, to the fact that Wurtzel noted that the movie was "horrible." The movie finally debuted on the Starz! network in 2005 when, following the exit of Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein from Miramax, all pending films were released, in one form or another.
  • Drew Barrymore and Sandra Bullock were considered for the role of Elizabeth.
