Nice reference to Billie Holiday when "God Bless the Chikd" is quoted early in the movie.
Mario Lopez and Jana Kramer both competed on Dancing with the Stars. Mario Lopez competed on season 3 where he came in second. Jana Kramer came in fourth when she competed on season 23.
Billie's sister makes a reference that he was seen on Access Hollywood, she says he would be really great on there. Mario Lopez who plays Billie is a host on the show in real life.
