Fun Facts of Movie
-
Luke Wilson chipped a tooth while filming this movie and asked Diane Keaton to recommend a dentist. Keaton decided to play a joke on him and, when he called the number she had given him, it was actually the number to a psychologist.
-
Writer and director Thomas Bezucha put the nine cast members playing the Stones through several weeks of rehearsal so they would bond well enough off-camera to convincingly portray a family. This included a crash course in American Sign Language, as eight of the nine characters would be called upon to utilize American Sign Language in the script to either communicate with or interpret for the character of Thaddeus. While some critics, and the cast members themselves, pointed out that their American Sign Language use was sub-par, it was actually a realistic portrayal of a hearing family’s use of the language, which is often perfunctory at best.
-
Rachel McAdams worked with both Wilson brothers in two different movies at the same year. This movie with Luke Wilson, and in Wedding Crashers (2005) with Owen Wilson.
-
During the film’s Christmas Eve montage, as Thaddeus and Patrick stroll hand-in-hand toward the inn, Patrick signs in American Sign Language that the evening sky looks beautiful, to which Thaddeus responds “No, you’re beautiful.”
-
Because of the dim lighting and indistinct camera angle, audiences frequently assume it is Susanna’s daughter Elizabeth who has fallen asleep on Susanna’s lap at the beginning of the Christmas Eve montage. It is, in fact, Amy, which prompts Kelly to say, “She’s nice like this, isn’t she?” in response to Amy’s lack of accustomed edge as she peacefully slumbers.
