I had a bunch of college friends who went to high school with the screenwriter. There are a ton of in-jokes in the film about East Grand Rapids High School (across town from where I went), the area around it, high school rivals, and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp that I can pick up on. There are also allegedly some characters loosely based on real people.
And save for making Lake Michigan look like a duck pond, the movie actually ends up looking something like the place it was based on, even though it was entirely filmed in California.
