    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Liev Schreiber's theatrical film debut. His first credited role was in Janek: The Silent Betrayal (1994), which premiered on television the day before this movie opened in theaters.
    • Goofs
      Felix slips the suspender onto his left arm once, then again when the shot changes, when he puts the Santa suit back on in the bathroom.
    • Quotes
      • [on the phone]
      • Philip: Just remember that in every pothole there is hope. Well, you see, pothole is spelled P-O-T-H-O-L-E. So if you take the P, and add it to the H, the O, and the E, and rearrange the letters... or contrariwise, you remove the O, T, and the L, you get "hope". So, just remember, in every pothole there is hope!
    • Crazy credits
      The circular icons from Felix's mural appear throughout the end credits.
