- This movie should not get a sequel but could simply be redone, a Netflix reboot, because the conversation about your backup is timeless enough; weddings are one of the great constructs for film and TV, as a Succession conversation with Fantasy (as transcribed) noted, because they put every character in one spot with drinking and bad behavior.
- Asked whether it could have been an eight-episode Netflix show, which one host says should be a standing category, a version spread over eight days with cell phones that starts when she learns he is getting married might work, and one spouse would watch it, but the hosts would still prefer it as a movie for its time limits.
- Earlier research surfaced the 2001 talk of a My Best Friend's Divorce sequel with Kimmy and Michael splitting, which the hosts find extremely believable.
