- Awesome, Dear Boy: Tyler Perry took on the role, and put himself in the hands of producers and directors other than himself, because he was so enthusiastic for the film.
- Creator's Oddball: One of the few Tyler Perry projects where he didn't have complete creative control.
- Dyeing for Your Art: Matthew Fox developed an extremely muscular physique and lost most of his body fat for his role as Picasso.
- Playing Against Type: Tyler Perry has played roles other than Madea, but he's played her so many times that for many, it's hard to imagine him as anyone else, or even that he's so un-Madea when just being himself. A few jaws dropped upon the reveal of who'd be playing the younger version of Morgan Freeman's thriller hero.
- What Could Have Been: Originally, Idris Elba was in the casting list for Alex. It could've served as an Actor Allusion to his role as John Luther.
