Trivia
Jon Favreau was offered a chance to direct, but made Elf (2003) instead
The production was shot without a completed script. As a result, there were many delays and arguments over what to shoot. James Gandolfini admitted, in a behind the scenes interview, that most of the film was “improvised”.
James Gandolfini was only ten years and two months older than Christina Applegate, who played his daughter in this film.
