Trivia

• Adam Sandler wrote and was set to release this movie in the mid 1990s, with Chris Farley in the Kevin James role. Farley’s death in 1997 halted production plans, and the film was shelved for more than a decade.
• An early scene where the five male leads all sit in chairs outside the lakehouse in sunshine was actually extremely cold. External heaters were placed out of shot so the actors, who were all dressed in t-shirts and shorts, could warm themselves in between takes.
• Adam Sandler said the pool scene was ad-libbed.
• CGI was used to create sunshine, as the weather was actually dull and wet during most of the shoot.
• The first cut of the film was three hours and twelve minutes long.
• The zipline ride seen in the waterpark sequence is a fictional creation. Health and safety regulations would never allow customers to fly over concrete.
