- Brie Larson is proposed as Wahlberg’s best chemistry despite the argument for cutting her subplot; Charlize Theron competes.

- Reported earlier casting included Vince Vaughn with Zooey Deschanel, Mark Wahlberg as Pat and Anne Hathaway as Tiffany; the panel doubts these alternatives could match the final pairing.
- Reported Tiffany candidates include Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Angelina Jolie, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough, Olivia Wilde and Emma Thompson; some claims draw skepticism and the options illustrate the risk of conventional quirky-romance casting.
- Lawrence’s toughness and partly goth styling are essential to avoiding cuteness; Vaughn might make a functional but lesser film, while Rob McElhenney and Kat Dennings are joking alternatives.
