    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Many members of the test audience didn't believe the story was true. They thought no real-life magazine would have so many journalists in their early to mid 20s, even though the New Republic did. A place card added to the opening of the film stated that the median age of journalists working for the New Republic was 26.
    • Goofs
      A prior entry indicated that the film's onscreen date of May 8, 1998 was incorrect because the article appeared in the May 18 issue. While this is the correct date of the issue, magazines are often sent to subscribers and newsstands prior to the publication date. In this case, the Forbes Digital story was published online on May 11, 1998. The onscreen caption is likely the correct date.
    • Quotes
      • Stephen Glass: [Outside the closed restaurant] I didn't do anything wrong, Chuck.
      • Chuck Lane: I really wish you'd stop saying that.
    • Alternate versions
      There are three versions available, of different lengths. Runtimes are: "1h 34m (94 min)", the most available, theatrical cut, "1h 29m (89 min) (Australia)" and "1h 39m (99 min) (Toronto International) (Canada)" film festival original cut.
