• Meryl Streep and Mamee Gummer played mother and daughter in this film, as they are in real life.
• Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline previously starred together in "Sophie's Choice" (1982), during which Streep was pregnant with her daughter, Mamie Gummer, who played Streep's daughter in that film.
• The film's plot is partly based on the real stepmother of Diablo Cody, who sang rock and roll songs for many years.
