The film also features numerous cameos from well-known filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese and James Cameron.
The film received mixed reviews and did not meet with large box office success, grossing only about $11 million domestically. Sharon Stone earned a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
