1* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
2** The film was retitled as Moy paren' - psih: Istoriya optimista (My Boyfriend is a Psycho: An Optimist's Story) in Russia.
3** In Argentina and Uruguay, the title was changed to "El Lado Luminoso de la Vida" ("The Bright Side of Life"). In the rest of Latin America, it is called "Los Juegos del Destino" ("The Games of Destiny")
4* DuelingDubs: The film has three Latin American Spanish dubs. The first and second dubs were recorded at New Art Dub and Central Entertainment, respectively, in Mexico D. F. The third dub was made at VSI Dubbing & Sub Factory, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.
5* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/JenniferLawrence dyed her blonde hair black, which ended up ruining it. She was also advised to gain weight for the role.
6* FakeAmerican: Australian Jacki Weaver plays an American.
7* IronyAsSheIsCast: Creator/JenniferLawrence joked that Bradley Cooper was the more natural dancer of the two of them when they were practising their routine for the finale. She plays the trained dancer, while Cooper plays an amateur with only a few weeks of training.
8* PlayingAgainstType:
9** Creator/ChrisTucker (known for playing loud, obnoxious, shrill characters) playing the somewhat kooky but mostly very even-tempered Danny.
10** Also applies behind-the-camera - if you didn't know going in that this movie's very restrained, guitar-led score came from the pen of Music/DannyElfman, you'd never have guessed.
11* RealitySubtext: Creator/BradleyCooper is a Philadelphia Eagles fan like his character Pat.
12* ThoseTwoActors: Creator/BradleyCooper and Jennifer Lawrence star in their first Creator/DavidORussell project - followed by ''Film/AmericanHustle'' and ''Film/Joy2015''. They also play lovers in ''Film/{{Serena}}''.
13* ThrowItIn:
14** Pat Sr's ManlyTears when he wishes he and his son were closer were unscripted, and Creator/RobertDeNiro was actually tearing up for real.
15** Creator/JackiWeaver noticed that when filming the dance scene, [[spoiler: the judges' scores didn't average five]]. So she told a producer and it was changed, preventing a massive {{Blooper}}.
16* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
17** Creator/AnneHathaway was [[http://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/anne-hathaway-left-jennifer-lawrence-39-silver-linings-222000539-us-weekly.html originally cast]] to play Tiffany, but left due to CreativeDifferences. This may explain Tiffany's VagueAge, as Hathaway is several years older than Creator/JenniferLawrence. Regardless, they both won Oscars that year. Also considered were Creator/ElizabethBanks, Creator/KirstenDunst, Creator/AngelinaJolie, Creator/BlakeLively, Creator/RachelMcAdams, Creator/RooneyMara and Creator/OliviaWilde.
18** Creator/DavidORussell mentioned in an interview that while writing the script, he originally had Creator/VinceVaughn and Creator/ZooeyDeschanel considered for the lead roles.
