Product [edit]
Author Rob Perez said they pitched the film to every studio in town, and eventually got a bargain. Perez turned in the first draft a few months afterward and the moving picture was greenlit. Thirteen months subsequently having sold the pitch, filming began. The film was released a yr-and-a-one-half later. In retrospect Perez noted how lucky he was that the film got made: "At the time I believed the picture was made considering of the script. However, in retrospect I believe it was made because of a confluence of a xx completely random stars aligning. This included an influx of money at the studio from a new partnership; their recent films had been hits; young comedies like mine were connecting at the fourth dimension; a few bankable actors in the age range wanted to play the lead; the executive(s) happened to similar (or at to the lowest degree call back it was commercial) the concept/script; and that the producer was hungry enough that when he striking route blocks, he constitute other means to keep moving forrard. I tin can go on, merely hope this is enough to illustrate my point: the film was made because of 20 things that had nada to practice with the script."[3]
The picture was shot primarily in Vancouver, but as well featured some San Francisco locations,[4] including Potrero Hill, San Francisco, California.
