- Kevin James' character, Eric Lamansoff, was also mentioned in another Adam Sandler movie; The Wedding Singer (1998), as a neighbor of Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) during the scene where Robbie and Julia are negotiating prices for wedding pictures.
- Actress Maya Rudolph really was pregnant with her 2nd child during filming of this movie. Production began in June 2009 and Maya Rudolph gave birth in November 2009.
- After the movie premiered Adam Sandler bought each of his fellow cast members (Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade) a brand new Maserati. Rock appreciated the gift but said it made him feel like "Adam Sandler's bitch".
- Dan Patrick's character is a take on Norby Williamson, Executive Senior Vice President of Studio and Event Production at ESPN.
- The "flashback" basketball game was filmed at the Huntington St. YMCA in Boston. It was filmed on a 95-degree August day in a non air-conditioned gym while all of the extras in the stands were dressed in the material of the day - polyester. So, if everyone in the stands appears to be melting, that is why. Adam Sandler was on set with Dennis Dugan and they both guided the team and the cheerleaders during the 15 hour shoot.
