 * Sean McCann as Pappy

Production
The film was shot in Toronto in May 1997.

Russell said he was given orders to revisions by "anonymous" execs on the film. "It was change this, alter that – no discussion, 'just do it.' There was no one to talk to... It paid the rent."

Reception
The Los Angeles Times said "Dialogue is deliriously silly, with the term "dogboy" used so frequently you'd think they're trying to make it a national catch-phrase."
