- Overshadowed by Controversy: The movie might be better remembered for the scandal surrounding Melissa Joan Hart doing a racy photoshoot for Maxim to cross promote it - and how that nearly got her fired from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
- Presumed Flop: It was often touted as a Star-Derailing Role for Melissa Joan Hart, since it was savaged by critics and disowned by Todd Strasser, but the movie actually grossed of $22 million on only an $8 million budget.
- Retroactive Recognition: Ali Larter would become a lot more famous for Varsity Blues the same year, and Final Destination the next year.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
- Dee could have been a voice of reason to Nicole and a more pronounced Foil to their False Friend Alicia, but she and Nicole are mostly The Friends Who Never Hang.
- Star athlete Brad's romance with Kathy, a Pom-Pom Girl from a rival school, has the makings of a minor yet potentially powerful Star-Crossed Lovers subplot, but the two are easily broken up through some subtle manipulation.
