FILM 1445: CAN'T HARDLY WAIT
TRIVIA: Film debut of actor Jason Segel.
This was Charlie Korsmo's first
(and last) on-screen appearance since Hook (1991). He was
attending MIT when he was offered the role.
Melissa Joan Hart's name
doesn't appear in the end credits.
Filming the final scenes of the
party meant a chaotic destruction of the house. Directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont gave the
go-ahead to completely trash the place. This involved the cast and crew pulling
out drawers, dropping food all over the floor, messing up the carpets, and someone
spray painting "This Party Sucked" on the front door. This all
happened in one hour.
The film takes place on Wednesday,
17 June 1998: Barry Manilow's
55th birthday.
Ethan Embry's character,
Preston Meyers, confesses to be a big fan of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. at the
end of the movie. His yearbook quote, "Beware of all enterprises that
require new clothes" by Thoreau, is also featured in Vonnegut's book
"Welcome to the Monkey House."
There were characters in the movie
called the Crying Drunk Girl (Jennifer
Elise Cox) - who has subtitles for everything she says because she
is so drunk that none of her speech is understandable - and the Stoned Girl
('Amber Benson') - who is so spaced out on dope that she wanders in and out of
a number of scenes - but both were cut in order to secure a PG-13 rating.
Four cast members appear in Six
Feet Under. They include Lauren Ambrose, Peter Facinelli, Freddy Rodriguez, and
Eric Balfour.
