Production
editWriter Peter Hoare was unhappy with the way the script was rewritten during production. He told Script Magazine, “Little by little, what I saw was the movie changed into something that was so different than the movie I originally wrote, and that David read, so many years before. Long story short, it came out on DVD, but man, it could have been really, really funny.” [3]
