Trivia - This film contains the leads from two popular NBC sitcoms: Jennifer Aniston (Friends) and Debra Messing (Will & Grace). They appear together when Lisa (Debra Messing) tries to win back Reuben (Ben Stiller) at his new apartment when he comes home from a date with Polly (Jennifer Aniston), but they are still not seen in the same shot at the same time.
- The part where Ben and Irving play basketball when Irving's hairy chest slides gruely on Ben would be later spoofed in the 2006 movie, Date Movie.
- The poster in Reuben's forgotten child star best friend's apartment from his movie Crocodile Tears is similar in appearance to that of the movie The Breakfast Club, and the opening song from that movie can be heard in the background.
- The role of Sandy Lyle was originally offered to Jack Black, who turned it down because of filming delays on his film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. The part eventually went to Philip Seymour Hoffman.
- At one point, Jennifer Aniston was filming this movie, Bruce Almighty, and Friends at the same time. [1]
- Ben Stiller said on a talk show that the ferret actually bit him a couple of times. [2]
- This is not the first time Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston acted together playing a couple. Stiller played Aniston's boyfriend in NBC's Friends, in the third season's "The One With The Screamer". He played Rachel's boyfriend, who (after Rachel leaves the room) screams at Ross and complete strangers.
- The scene where Polly finds that she has been "Sussed out" by Reubens program by weighing out the advantages and disadvanteges of each of Reubens love interests may or may not have borrowed from an episode of NBC's "Friends" entitled "The one with the list" in which Rachael (Jennifer Aniston) finds a similiar list weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of her and Julie (Ross' other love interest), made by Ross, Joey and Chandler, on Chandlers new Laptop.

Quotes Claude: (attempting to explain his love for Reuben’s wife after Reuben walked in on them) It's like the story of the hippo. Reuben: I'm not familiar with that story. Claude: The hippopotamus, he is not one going, "Cool beans. I am a hippo." No way, Jose. So he try to paint the stripe on him to be like the zebra, but he fool no one. Then he try to put the spot on his skin to be like the leopard, but everyone know he is a hippo. So, at certain point, he look himself in the mirror and he just say, "Hey. I am a hippopotamus and there is nothing I can do about it." As soon as he accepts this, he live life happy. Happy as a hippo. You understand? Reuben : (Reuben looks at him with a look of hatred for a few seconds before he runs toward him) I’m gonna kill you! Sandy : "Let it rain, old school, rain man, rain dance" Reuben and Sandy playing basketball Man in Bathroom Stall : "Occupied. I'm gonna be here all night, dude." Sandy : "Did you two douche bags bring your A game?" Irving Feffer : (Irving Feffer to Sandy) "Its not about what happened in the past, though what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride, for christ sake. There is no point going all this crap, if you are not gonna enjoy the ride... And you know what, when you least expect it, something great might come along. Something better than you even planned for."
