    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      As Emile Hirsch was still a minor during production, all of his nude scenes were performed by a stunt double. For the lap dance scene, several pillows were placed between him and the dancer.
    • Goofs
      When Mule attacks Eli at the convention, Eli forgets to take his jacket off of the couch arm, and leaves it there. Several scenes later in Matt's bedroom, he is seen wearing the same jacket that he left behind.
    • Quotes
      • Matthew: Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically
      • [mumbling]
      • Matthew: being a fucking boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about.
    • Alternate versions
      In the alternate ending, Matt is *not* shown at college (as he is in the original version) but instead he is wearing a suit and smoking a cigar - standing at Capitol Hill, where we assume he is now working.
