* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Through most of the movie Bobby Darrin interacts with his preteen self considered innocent at the time of the movie's release, watching the movie now in light of allegations of sexual misconduct against Kevin Spacey those scenes may be looked at a different light.

* DawsonCasting: In one of the most egregious examples, Creator/KevinSpacey played Bobby Darin throughout his adult life. To put it in perspective, Spacey was older than Darin was ''when he died'' (Spacey was 44 during filming, Darin died at 37).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** As early as 1986, Barry Levinson intended to direct a film based on the life of Darin, and he began pre-production on the project in early 1997 under the title ''Dreamer''. When he eventually vacated the director's position in favor of directing ''Liberty Heights'' (1999), Spacey, along with Darin's son Dodd, acquired the film rights.
