Trivia
Jon Heder permed his hair for the film.
Share this
Jon Heder's big dance scene was the last scene scheduled and film ran out while shooting it. The sequence was edited together from less than 10 minutes of his dancing.
Share this
Having the food plates spell out names in the opening credits was Aaron Ruell's idea. The rest of the sequence was designed and executed by Pablo Ferro.
