It was filmed in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada
So your right, LOTS different than Cali.
I've driven to California from Moose Jaw... in the Winter.
No palm trees here... no cactus... no dessert. Just lots and lots of prairie.. and no ocean. There are lakes and trees and hills in some parts of the province. but where this is filmed its in the flattest part. the City its filmed in has a valley. I have not seen the movie so i don't know all the locations they used. I know of the school they used and thats pretty much it.
I don't know why the directors/writers thought they could pull SK off as Cali.. they are obviously very different. Except that alot of people would completely miss the minor details of license plates and addresses on post cards.
There is however a movie coming out called Dolan's Cadillac - a Stephen King novel. I saw the director on Friday give a presentation. That movie was filmed in Saskatchewan.. and it takes place in Nevada. And the clips that he showed, i think he did a brilliant job finding locations to make Regina pass off as Las Vegas and a smalltown to pass off as the dessert.
The Movie Just Friends with Ryan Reynolds was filmed here as well, but that movie took place in New Jersey.. climate wise New Jersey and Saskatchewan are very similar.
