Trivia

• The scenes that were supposed to represent Orange County were actually filmed in Los Angeles County.
• The scenes that were supposed to represent Stanford were actually filmed at the University of Southern California, as well as Occidental College, more than 350 miles away.
• The high school that was used in the film was Diamond Ranch High School located in Pomona, northeast of Orange County.
• The shot of the dog nipping Ashley on the nose was an accident, yet Schuyler Fisk stayed in character so director Kasdan left it in.
• The movie (excluding the prologue "Dear Mr. Skinner") takes place over the course of about 24 hours, from morning Friday, April 15, to morning Saturday, April 16. However these dates in 2002 (when the film was released) fall on a Monday and Tuesday.
• The name "Brumder" may have originated from the name of an administrator at Mike White's High School.
• The tagline is actually a line said by Garth (Dana Carvey) at Waynestock in Wayne's World 2 in reference to the setting of Aurora, Illinois.
• The American television series, The O.C., was originally supposed to be called "Orange County" but was later changed due to the release of this film. Coincidentally, Colin Hanks made an appearance in The O.C. as "Grady Bridges", star of fictional television show, The Valley. Bret Harrison, who plays Lonny in this movie, also had a guest role in 'The O.C.' playing Danny, Seth's rival for Summer's affections, in Season 1, and is also in the band Big Japan with The O.C. star Adam Brody.
• Scenes from the film are shown in the Foo Fighters video for the song The One; the song is also featured on the movie's soundtrack.
