What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, Nicole Grimaudo, who played Gia, spoke almost no English. She learned her lines by ear, assisted by a translator present on set.
- For the film's promotional campaign, screenwriters John and Patrick Keenan decided to create an online persona for Matt. Their colleague, Kevin James, spent several months before the film's release pretending to be Matt on the internet and attending baseball games in character. A photo of James in the stands as Matt went viral on social media.
