Curiosidades
The fictional television show "Mr. Chompers" was based on author Jerry Stahl's experience writing for ALF, o Eteimoso (1986). The other television series was based on Stahl's experiences on Twin Peaks (1990) and A Gata e o Rato (1985), and its star was apparently based on Cybill Shepherd.

Erros de gravação
When Jerry is at the methadone clinic, the doctor is checking boxes on a form he's filling out. The questions he asks Jerry do not match the boxes he checks.

Citações
Jerry Stahl: [Narrating] People always ask, "What's the worst thing heroin drove you to do?". I always answer, "showing up on Maury."

Versões alternativas
The DVD features 3 deleted scenes:
A wasted Jerry hitting on Owen Wilson's character's girlfriend and being thrown out.
A long haired Jerry working for Hustler magazine.
A stoned Jerry buying a muffin and being beaten with a baseball bat by the store clerk.

Stiller- Excellent... Film- Dull

Ben Stiller was extremely convincing. His portrayal of man who is distracted by his addiction at all times is excellent.

Unfortunately, that's the only redeeming thing about this film (aside from the chance to stare at Elizabeth Hurley, of course.)

I read in an above commentary that the viewer is never shown that Jerry is brilliant. I couldn't agree more. I want to think of him as a tortured genius, but it's tough to do when I'm given no reason to believe that he's anything more than a lowlife junkhead.

One thing I was impressed with was the scene in which Jerry and Redfoot (whatever his name is in this thing) are bouncing off of the windows, several stories above the street. Impressive filmwork, good use of Prodigy, etc.

Disappointing, to say the least.
