- With over 11 million home media sales in 2009, it was also the top-selling film of the year in the United States.
- The college scenes were shot at both the University of Pennsylvania and the Princeton University. However, neither school is named in the film, as both schools felt that the Judy Witwicky scenes were damaging to their image.
