The film boasts a stellar cast alongside the leading trio. William H. Macy, Andrew Santino, Lex Scott Davis, and Anja Savcic add their comedic talents to the mix, guaranteeing some unforgettable supporting characters.

Despite a simplistic touch to the movie, it had its fair share of initial hiccups as the Direction, Writing, and Cast changed drastically.

But, it was announced last year that Peter Farrelly overtook the project that was under planning for over a decade. The majority of the movie was shot in Melbourne, Australia.
