What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the recollections of director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer, and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel about their own parenting experiences.
  • Helen Shaw's final on-screen appearance. The actress passed away in 1997 at the age of 100.
  • According to director Ron Howard, the episode featuring the discovery of compromising photographs is based on something that actually happened to producer Brian Grazer.
  • During filming, the cast became engrossed in a game of "murder" (a game in which the seeker, or murderer, must find a way to "kill" the other players). This is evident in the scene at the table, where everyone is looking at each other, i.e., playing.
  • Joaquin Phoenix (credited as Leaf Phoenix) had been homeless shortly before filming. His parents were followers of the "Children of God" cult in the 1970s, and it was then that they changed their surname from "Bottom" to "Phoenix."
  • The original script stated that Karen smoked a joint every evening. The actress who played the role, Mary Steenburgen, stated that this contradicted the nature of her character, who is strong enough to face the difficulties and complexities of her own family head-on. The filmmakers agreed and rewrote the script. Only a few hints remained in the film that she had smoked marijuana in the past.
  • One of the baseball players in the opening scene in the park is visibly limping because he pulled a ligament during the filming of one of the first takes. The footage included in the film was chosen after approximately twenty takes, all because the batter couldn't hit the ball where it needed to go (he was a college player, not a professional).
