This film marks as being the only one made with the whole Gyllenhaal family: father Stephen Gyllenhaal directed it, mother Naomi Foner produced and wrote it, and children Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie Gyllenhaal acted in it.
Glenn Close was the original casting decision to play Debra Winger's aunt, while Jeff Bridges and Jason Patric were both considered for the male lead.
Includes sequences filmed in the towns of Piru - Frances' house, and Santa Paula - the location of the dry cleaner where Martha works, both within Ventura County, California.
