• The script was originally written for Joe Pesci, but he flatly refused to star in the film. Ben Stiller and Patton Oswalt were also offered the lead role, but they also declined. Rob Schneider liked the script. He offered his services as director and producer of the project for a minimal fee, if he was also allowed to play the lead role. He was allowed to.
