- Paltrow, Swank and Zellweger were reportedly backups if Garner couldn't do it; neither participant thinks they work, though mid-90s Zellweger might.
- Young Jenna looks like Hilary Swank; Paltrow and Ruffalo later made a flight attendant movie that was not good.
- The casting director reportedly said Paul Rudd and Sam Rockwell were next if Ruffalo turned it down; Rudd could work.
- Test audiences reportedly hated the original young Matt and young Jenna, who were reshot with different actors.
