The cast includes Max Minghella, Sophia Myles, John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, and Anjelica Huston.The movie was partially filmed at Otis. Otis Foundation Professor Gary Garaths worked as a consultant on the film.

The movie has since received mixed reviews, with 37 percent out of 100 on the review-aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, and 54/100 on Metacritic.
