Trivia
It cost $200,000 to get the rights to use the Law & Order (1990) chimes for the “Day 1-7” title cards.
The flash forward scene with Stephen Merchant imagining he murders his wife and ends up in jail was thought up by Owen Wilson.
Hall pass isn’t a commonly used expression outside of the USA so in many international markets this was called “Free Pass”.
Although filmed in Atlanta, Georgia the film is based in Providence, Rhode Island like other Farrelly Brothers films.
