    • Trivia
      For years it was alleged that title role was written with Aaliyah in mind and she had actually accepted the role but died in August 2001 before she had begun filming. In 2020, however, director Bille Woodruff dispelled this rumor and revealed that the role was actually written with Beyoncé in mind but Knowles was unable to due the project due to touring.
    • Goofs
      When Honey and Raymond are out looking for his brother Benny, they see him entering a restaurant and they start to cross the street, but in the next scene he is already eating a big plate of food when they approach him. From the time it took them to cross the street and enter the restaurant, he could not have had the time to order, receive and start eating his food.
