- Reality Subtext: The cute waitress who serves Julian a root beer at the sports bar? It's Jackie Titone, who became Mrs. Adam Sandler just a few years later.
- What Could Have Been:
- Chris Farley was originally going to star, but he died before production started. Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Steve Martin, Christopher Lloyd, Jim Carrey, and Ben Stiller were also considered.
- Rick Moranis was considered for the role Arthur Brooks, but turned it down because he had just begun his long hiatus from acting two years prior and wanted to continue raising his children. Christopher McDonald, Harold Ramis (who showed interest but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts on directing Analyze This), Phil Hartman (who was murdered shortly before production began), Wayne Knight (who declined the role to take some time off from working), and Garry Shandling (who declined the role due to scheduling conflicts on Town & Country) were also considered.
- Rob Reiner was briefly considered to play either Arthur Brooks or Lenny Koufax, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts on directing The Story of Us.
- Working Title: Guy Gets Kid.
