• Streep applied to the administration of Vassar College to allow filming the film's finale there, but was refused, despite being an alumna and a member of the Vassar board.
• John Krasinski landed the role of Hurley in the film thanks to his work on the series “The Office,” which Nancy Meyers enjoys.
• In the scene where Meryl Streep's character answers a call from her daughter, played by Caitlin Fitzgerald, Alec Baldwin's character kisses her, and she says “You’re still on the phone” in surprise instead of “You’re still on the plane.” The actress genuinely made a mistake, as she did not expect her co-star to kiss her, but he did so at the direction of director Nancy Meyers. Fortunately, Streep was able to play off her mistake and recover, so the scene didn't need to be reshot.
• All scenes with Steve Martin had to be filmed in the first two months of shooting, as he was going on a solo tour afterwards.
• The role of Jane was written specifically for Meryl Streep, who was delighted with the script.
• In the film, Meryl Streep's character jokes about Alec Baldwin's character, saying he's old and will be almost 80 years old when his child graduates. Shortly after filming wrapped, Baldwin got married and had several children in that marriage. By the time his youngest children graduate, he will be over 80 years old.
• John Krasinski landed the role of Hurley in the film thanks to his work on the series "The Office," which Nancy Meyers enjoys.
• In the scene where Meryl Streep answers a call from her daughter, played by Caitlin Fitzgerald, Alec Baldwin's character kisses her, and she says "You’re still on the phone" in surprise (meaning “You’re still on the line”) instead of “You’re still on the plane.” The actress genuinely made a mistake because she didn’t expect her scene partner to kiss her, but he did so at the direction of director Nancy Meyers. Fortunately, Streep was able to play off the mistake and salvage the scene, so it didn’t need to be reshot.
