Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, Melissa McCarthy's role was written for a male. Jason Bateman insisted that the part be changed after he saw McCarthy in Bridesmaids (2011).
- GoofsWhen the real Sandy is driving to Colorado with Diana. He swerves the car to bang her head against the passenger door, twice. The camera tries to move to make it look like a swerve but the background behind the car does not change the motion.
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits, we hear two lines of dialog from earlier in the movie. The Skiptracer Robert Patrick saying "No, Sandy's a girl's name!" And Sandy Jason Bateman replying "It's not, it's unisex!"
- Alternate versionsThe studio thought that it was necessary to enrich the DVD/BD releases with a longer Unrated Cut that adds almost 9 minutes of material. The clear conclusion here is that the majority of those scenes feel like they were cut out of the theatrical version because they simply weren't needed or slowing down the events. Typical "unrated" material that could've been too risky for the "R"-rated theatrical version is nowhere in sight.

Featured review
Maybe I'm weird but I love this movie!
Such a fun film I kinda understand the hate but I could watch this so many times. I absolutely love the dialogue especially from Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy they're both delightful throughout! A bit ridiculous in some bits that shouldn't be so bad it's not an award worthy just glorious Seth Gordon greatness.
