Despite claims that the film had a $4,000 budget, Christy stated on Stern's radio show that he spent no more than $700. When Stern asked Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper to review the film, Ebert refused to watch it, while Roeper's pan was run over the film's ending credits.[2] According to producer Doug Goodstein, Stern has distanced himself from the film.[3]
