Production
The film was primarily shot in Highlands, New Jersey. Academy Award-winning Vilmos Zsigmond, the film's director of photography, was said by Smith to have been "an ornery old cuss who made the crew miserable".
Paulsboro, New Jersey, which served as one of the shooting locations of the film, prompted the town to rename a street near its high school after him. Scenes that were shot there include those in its Municipal Building, Clam Digger Bar, and High School. Also cut from the film, are scenes in Paulsboro's St. John's Church and Little League Field. The scene in the church was to show the marriage between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's characters. However, it was cut out of the film shortly after the split between them and scenes reshot, reducing her part into a cameo, due to concern over the poor box office reception of Gigli.

“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
