* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: Rather than learn just enough for the relevant scenes, Creator/JimCarrey actually learned how to play the guitar[[note]]He remarked that learning basic chords was the hardest thing he'd ever done and declared this film would be the only time he'd ever play the instrument. Creator/ZooeyDeschanel kept the one he used on screen.[[/note]] Korean, and had a DDR machine installed in his home so he could practice. That perfect game his character plays is genuine, rather than Jim pretending to play with a prepared graphic playing on the screen.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** With references to the mid-2000s indie scene, Website/MySpace, and early 2000s movies, this movie might result as a rather interesting time capsule.
** Part of the plot involves Carl being commended and given a promotion for earning huge profits for his bank, a storyline that you'd now be ''very'' unlikely to see after the financial crash that occurred around the time the movie was released. Mitigated a little in that the bank's directors, while not out-and-out {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s, are depicted as cold-hearted individuals who are quite happy to shut down branches that aren't sufficiently profitable, without any regard for their employees.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Carl cheering up the tearful and grumpy lady in the wedding caterer's parlour, simply by speaking to her in her mother tongue (Korean) thus proving that he would listen to her. After she vents to him about how uncared-for she feels and Carl reassuring her, she is more than happy to help him pick everything. He later sets her up with his former boss, to great success.
