* Charlie's parents subscribe to ''Magazine/WeeklyWorldNews'', which was a real paper that ran bizarre stories and one of the best tabloids to ever grace a supermarket checkout line (doubly so for those who don't care for celebrity news). In truth, it was really a comedy magazine that was marketed as a supermarket tabloid.

* WagTheDirector: There were stories in the press that Creator/MikeMyers' over-inflated ego forced extensive re-shoots on the film and that he tried to deny Robbie Fox credit for writing the film, sometimes locking himself in his trailer and refusing to work. On the set, director Thomas Schlamme said that he had his differences with Myers over how the film should be shaped. He said that Myers was "taking a stretch beyond his usual self and was playing outside himself. Personality clashes were bound to happen. We struggled". However, the director denied that Myers was a control freak and praised the "total commitment to his work. (But) yes, it was difficult".

* PlayingAgainstType: Mike Myers as a StraightMan rather than his typical brand of [[LampshadeHanging self-aware]] {{large ham}}s. In a more meta sense, it's also one of his more memorable film roles ''not'' to get turned into a CashCowFranchise.
