Lindsay Lohan's only theatrical Disney movie that was not inspired by a previously released Disney movie. The Parent Trap (1998) and Freaky Friday (2003) were remakes, and Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) was both a reboot and a sequel.
The dog belonging to Lola's father is named Negus after the movie's production company, Negus Productions.
The outfit Ella wears to the concert is reminiscent of the iconic flapper girl image of the Roaring Twenties. Alison Pill (Ella) went onto play Zelda Fitzgerald, who was an inspiration for much of the 1920s fashion, in Midnight in Paris (2011).
Courtney Taylor-Taylor: The front man for the rock band The Dandy Warhols, can be seen walking by the camera at Stu's party wearing a Dandy Warhols T-shirt. He is credited as Courtney Alan Taylor.
