Credited with being the film single-handedly responsible for bill C-10, a new Canadian bill that would give the federal Heritage Department the power to deny funding for films and TV shows it considers offensive. Eventually, due to public outcry and the film's success, the bill was rescinded.
The film held a private screening for the Canadian Government in an effort to stop bill C-10, a censorship amendment that would stop "offensive" films from getting funding. The governing party refused to see it, however the opposition parties watched it.
There are 258 swear words in the film (averaging just under 3 per minute). The word fuck is said 178 times.
The movie was shot in 5 bedrooms.
Actors Aaron Abrams and Carly Pope ("The Friends") didn't get to meet until a semi-nude promotional photo shoot, just the day before filming. "We got to know each other pretty damn quick." Pope says.
