Trivia:
Harmony's baseball bat has the inscription "Wonder Girl". This is a reference to the inscription "Wonder Boy" on Robert Redford's bat in the The Natural (1984). moreGoofs:
Continuity: The book that Harmony takes off the shelf at the party is entitled "You Wouldn't Want to Live There" by "Joe Chester," a fictional detective novelist. When she opens the book to read it, the text at the top of the pages clearly states that the novel is Maureen Child's "The Man Beneath the Uniform," a 2004 Silhouette romance novel. moreSoundtrack:

I saw this movie at the 2005 Toronto Film Festival and expected it to be the typical film noir genre. This seemed to be the case for the first couple of minutes of narrative monologue before the jokes started coming fast and furious. This turned out to be a highly entertaining comedy/buddy film couched in a tongue in cheek film noir setting. The dialogue was witty and the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmour was great. Some of the jokes went by so fast that I'll have to see this movie again to see what I missed as I was still laughing at the previous one. The director spoke before the movie and commented on how the producers were nervous about the risky choice of actors. This was a reference to Robert Downey Jr.'s past addiction problems, but this film proved that he was worth the risk. I saw 10 films at this year's film festival and this one was my favorite.
