- Completely Different Title: In Spanish, the film was released in Latin America as La noche de las nerds ("The Night of the Nerds") and in Spain as Super empollonas, which doesn't even have a direct translation into English. note

- Method Acting: Before shooting began, Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feinstein lived together for a month to help establish a real chemistry between their characters.
- Real-Life Relative: Olivia Wilde cast her then-fiance Jason Sudeikis as the principal.
- Star-Making Role: Both Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever had major roles in projects of critical and commercial success before this film, but this proved to be a major boost for both lead actresses.
