Principal photography began in late April 2007, with filming taking place throughout the New Orleans Metropolitan Area.[1] Since wrapping at the end of the following month, the film struggled to find a wide release.[2] The film was later released to home media on December 27, 2011.[3]

Plot

After Alex Sperling, a Harvard-bound valedictorian, loses his summer internship, he heads to Los Angeles to work for his cousin Roger. Unfortunately, Roger isn't the successful businessman he's made himself out to be (having dropped out of Harvard and becoming a pool boy). After a series of mishaps force Alex and Roger to squat in the mansion of one of Roger's clients, they join forces with a local escort to start an escort business. As the business quickly grows, the boys find themselves trapped in the middle of outlandish situations.

Cast
gollark: Trump is 5000 bees in a slightly miscolored human suit.
gollark: Or maybe just a puppet for some random conspiracy, if you're into conspiracy-theorizing.
gollark: I can't tell if he's some sort of somewhat intelligent person who hit on a winning strategy for convincing people of stuff, or an insane lunatic who is making it work through sheer bluster and luck.
gollark: There's good evidence of MANY of them.
gollark: I would never have suspected that that would work before this.
