Trivia

• A tilt-shift lens is used to give several wide aerial shots the miniaturized look of the Game of Life board game.
• Prior to filming, the cast members had their own “game night” so they could get to know one another and prepare for the film. They played Clue and Joking Hazard.
• The actor who plays Tats, R. F. Daley, is the father of John Francis Daley, the co-director.
• Jason Bateman was originally set to direct the film, but John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein would only work on a rewrite of the script if they could also direct.
