Quiz
Alice's name is a nod to Alice in Wonderland, in which the main character shrinks down and goes into a tea pot.

Blooper
When John and Alice are in the library, Alice rips a page out of the "Magical Objects and Potions" book while John is distracted. He then begins to read about some dangers of the teapot on the lower right edge of the right-side page. Turning the page he cannot keep reading because the next page had been removed. In reality, the continuation would have been on the upper-left back side of the page he turned, which was clearly full of text.

Citazioni
John: Baby, just tell me what the hell happened?
Alice: I fell down the stairs.
John: We don't have stairs.

Curiosità sui crediti
When the opening credits are shown, it is against a background of ancient historical illustrations, each of which has at least one pot of some sort depicted. Some have several pots, and many of those also have the six-pointed star that is on the brass teapot featured in the film.

An awesome concept, that went in the wrong direction.

How far would a person go to earn easy money?

The idea of being able to earn money from pain is not only a masochist's wet dream, but it provides the potential for a film with a lot of moral complexity and moral questioning. I was fine with the director trying to get a few laughs from it, but I don't quite understand why they didn't further explore the darker side of this concept, as it would have really set this film apart from the rest.

There was one point near the end of the film that made me cry, as it showed the vulnerability of humans and how easily they can be corrupted, but even that quickly subsided and turned out to be a red herring, the film continuing down its cliché and comedic path instead.

I'd love to see a different director attempt this film again, but take it more seriously. I honestly think it has potential. The film as it currently exists is worth a watch, but pretty forgettable and you won't be thinking much about it afterwards.
