Filmed at the University of Rhode Island Kingston campus.
The Farrelly Brothers disowned the film after Harvey Weinstein insisted on numerous changes from the source material and re-cut the film in order to make it closer to their There's Something About Mary (1998) rather than the coming-of-age tale the original story was. The final film was a flop with critics and audiences and has been more or less forgotten.
Based on Peter Farrelly's experiences at Kent School, where he graduated as a member of the class of 1975.
The President's office at Brown University is actually the old office for the Dean of Admissions at the University of Rhode Island in Green Hall.
