Wissenswertes
According to an April 2003 NPR radio interview with Elvis Mitchell, Justin Lin's production company was on the verge of folding unless Lin could secure a certain amount of funding. Lin had essentially resigned himself to failure; but on a whim called a celebrity he had met once in Las Vegas. Lin got a call the day before the deadline from the celeb saying that he had read the script and wanted to provide some backing. Two hours later, the new investor had wired Lin the money and saved the production. The celebrity: M.C. Hammer.

While Ben and Stephanie are studying, they're discussing biology and Ben flips through a textbook looking up an answer - but the diagrams in the book show that it's really a math book and not bio.

Steve Choe: Are you happy?
Ben Manibag: I don't know.
Steve Choe: Fuck. That's the most truthful thing I've ever heard.

Alternative Versionen
In the version shown at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, Ben Manibag, played by Parry Shen, has taken part in the killing of a romantic rival, and towards the end he is heard saying, in effect, "Well, what I did wasn't right ...but I've got college to think about, and I've got a good life to look forward to, and I'm gonna move on."

Mediocre Movie + Asian Cast = Mediocre Movie w/ Asian Cast

Its all well and good that this movie is attempting to break down stereotypes (perhaps by replacing them with other stereotypes), but that doesn't necessarily make for a good movie.

You could have changed a few names, used some different actors, and this would be an ordinary, bland movie about "rich youth gone bad". It has been done better.

I liked the characters, but the story just wasn't developed enough and they never really get into motivations. They tried to throw in a few lines of "what is the meaning of life", but that does *not* connect various scenes into an actual telling story and it does *not* a plot make.

Too many loose ends are left at the end of this movie. If they want to pretend they "meant to do that", well, I just don't believe 'em. You never really get into most of the characters deep enough to explain why you had to watch them run around for the previous 2 hours.

"Amongst Friends" was the same movie done several years back, but it was just better written.
