Trivia
In one of the bedroom scenes, Paul Rudd’s farts were unscripted. The crew were not amused by this but Leslie Mann stayed in the moment and improvised her outraged reaction.
In real life, Maude Apatow really did get obsessed with Lost (2004) and watched the entire series in a few weeks.
The song Charlotte plays on the keyboard near the beginning of the movie is the theme song to The Office (US) (2005)
The part of Paul Rudd’s father was written specifically for Albert Brooks.
