Dawson Casting belongs to a Trivia tab.


* DawsonCasting: The characters are meant to be in their mid twenties, but all the actors are older. Adam Devine was actually 32 years old when this was filmed, being 5 years older than Robbie Amell (Ethan) and Andrew Bachelor (Max).

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Many critics and the public expressed their surprise at how superb Adam Devine was as a leading man, and how endearing and charming his portrayal was, considering this was way out of his usual character type. Some even compared him to Tom Hanks in ''Film/SleeplessInSeattle''.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In the timeline where Noah ends up rich and successful in business Max is bitter towards him for 'stealing' his promotion and career prospects and accuses Noah of only getting where he is by brown nosing their boss and the audience is meant to side with Max. While Max's anger is understandable - he ''did'' help pad out Noah's flimsy CV to get him the job in the first place and Max ''does'' work hard, every indication is that Noah legitimately became successful via professional and personal skills and sheer hard work, rather than simply kissing the bosses butt. The Noah of this alternate 2017 learned fluent Mandarin (which 'our' Noah can't speak at all), spends nearly his entire time at work, is well liked around the office and in contrast to the timeline where he went 'full asshole' this Noah appears to be a nice guy in his private life (in this timeline Carrie is apparently his best friend and even Ethan has nothing bad to say about him.)

* GeniusBonus: The song "Shout" is played multiple times in the film. ''Shout'' is a call-and-response AnswerSong to the song "Lonely Teardrops," a song about a guy asking a girl for another chance at their romance. Additionally, Noah sings to Avery "say that you love me," which foreshadows his lingering feelings for her years later.
* HeartwarmingInHindsight: After filming this, Adam and Shelley became really close friends.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Out of all the characters, Noah looks like one of the youngest. In reality, Adam was actually the oldest out of the cast.
* OneSceneWonder: The cashier that Noah interacts with. His facial expressions are hilarious.
* PrettyBoy: Noah is this, due to Adam's boyish good looks. If not for his height, he wouldn't be that different from hunk Ethan.
