After a few years of playing adult roles, this was the first of three high school roles in a row for Piper Perabo. She was cast as a teenager, although she was already in her mid-20's at the time. She'd already been a bartender in Coyote Ugly (2000) and a government agent in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000), amongst other roles.
The cafeteria scene was filmed at Bishop's College School, Lennoxville, Canada.
Film debuts of Luke Kirby and Emily VanCamp. The same about Meaghan Rath, Grace Lynn Kung and Lydia Zadel.
