- TriviaThe film marks the twentieth anniversary of Ben Stiller and Jerry Stiller working in a film together. Their first appearance was in the John Cusack comedy-adventure Hot Pursuit (1987), in which they played father and son villains.
- GoofsWhen the couple is leaving on their honeymoon, they drive along I580 by the Altamont Pass Wind Farm. The direction they are traveling would take them back into San Francisco.
- Crazy creditsAfter the completion of the end credits, there is a scene showing Eddie Cantrow's (Ben Stiller) bunkmate at camp saying good night and then snorting cocaine (in reference to the deviated septum scene in the film).
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a strong visual sex reference, sight of a donkey's erect penis in close proximity to a woman, in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

Featured review
Its definitely not Ben Stillers best work but it is still enjoyable watch nonetheless.
I'm a big Ben Stiller fan overall so I usually watch almost all of his movies. Hes been know to be hit or miss with some movies. With some that have been reviewed favorably and some not so much. This is was the latter as this one was panned universally. However I urge people to watch it and give it chance itself because its definitely a good movie.
First this is a rom-com movie and what I usually enjoy about these type of films is the pacing is always pretty good. Thats no different with this film as it never feels like its draggy or boring at all. Keeps you engaged and entertained at all times because you're wondering what itll happen.
Second this had pretty good cast of actors/actresses who all did pretty well with source material at hand. I thought the story was very believeble and something that can honestly totally happen in real life.
The only reason I won't give the movie a 10 out of 10. Has to do with looking at the comedy in the film overall. While there were few scenes were I spit my water out laughing because it was so funny. There were others where I had a completely straight face as the jokes fell flat. I do believe also that a being Ben Stiller fan might make you review the movie more favorably I don't think reviews will be as favorable for non fan. However its still worth watch regardless.
