| 1 | * AcclaimedFlop: Made just under its $10 million budget but was praised highly. Creator/RogerEbert heaped praise on it. |
| 2 | * ActorInspiredElement: |
| 3 | ** Adam Brody helped Lorene Scafaria with some of the script (the two are also part of a band together). |
| 4 | ** Penny's green military jacket was Creator/KeiraKnightley's idea. |
| 5 | * AwesomeDearBoy: Having done a lot of dramatic films beforehand, Keira Knightley was immediately attracted to a tragicomedy about the end of the world. |
| 6 | * IronyAsSheIsCast: Dodge's wife, who leaves him at the start of the film, is played by Nancy Carell, the wife of his actor (Creator/SteveCarell). The scene was even filmed on their anniversary! |
| 7 | * PlayingAgainstType: Keira Knightley, mainly known at that point for coming-of-age period dramas, plays a ditzy slacker. Steve Carell to a lesser extent is playing the OnlySaneMan, when he's usually better known as a LargeHam or UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist. This was a deliberate choice by the director, who loved casting the comic actor as the more introverted character and the dramatic actress as the PluckyComicRelief. |
