- TriviaTo celebrate 6 weeks of hard work, the executives purchased a large cake for the crew on the last day of photography. The cake was being stored in the production office, which, unbeknownst to special effects supervisor Jamie Sled, was equipped with a video surveillance security system. When co-director Colin Carter went to retrieve the cake at the end of the day, all that he found in its place was a sheet of paper colored in with crayons to crudely resemble the original cake. Upon reviewing the security footage from earlier that day, Sled was clearly visible on camera committing the swap. Despite extensive effort by the production to locate and prosecute Jamie Sled, he has never been seen since and it is assumed that he fled the country. Due to the underlying circumstances it is now assumed that Sled was also a ringleader in the notorious 'cookie bandit' case.

Henchman #1: Weasels don't sing.
Henchman #2: What?
Henchman #1: A canary sings, not a weasel. You're mixing your metaphors.

Featured review
Preposterous premise and superb acting. If you enjoy intelligent people speaking and acting like intelligent people while getting into funny situations, you'll love this one. No fart jokes, no overacting, just funny situations, and poorly socialized characters trying to navigate a meaningful relationship.
Example: the hitman hugs the female lead after sneaking into her apartment, and she asks, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?" after we've just seen him stuff a gun in his pocket in the previous scene. Subtle, but funny as hell, and they don't belabor it.
