 The test screenings showed that the audience had trouble figuring  out whether it was a comedy or a teen drama. Directors  Kyle Rankin (qv) and Efram Potelle (qv) and Miramax were  fighting towards the end of post production on what genre it should  be. The directors felt it should be a teen drama, Miramax thought it  should be a comedy (because it was a marketing genre). Rankin and  Potelle eventually gave in and cut it as a comedy.
