In the film, Michael had to be in a scene where two other characters were doing a drug deal on a roller coaster. Rapaport recounted, "I don’t like roller coasters. They had to con­vince me to ride it, and I threw up, so we had to reshoot it a week later. The second time, they sedated me. Some shots show me smiling because I’m drugged out of my mind, and some show me crying because I honestly thought I was going to crap."

Wesley's costar, Patton Oswalt, recalled Wesley being high often. "Wesley was just fucking crazy in a hilarious way. He wouldn’t come out of his trailer, and he would smoke weed all day. Which is fine with me, because I had all these DVDs that I wanted to catch up on. We were in Vancouver, and it was always raining. I kept the door to my trailer open to smell the evening rain while I was watching a movie."

Anna also said, "During a scene where I’m playing cards with Jake (Johnson), they gave me real beer, and I didn’t realize it! And so every time I lost, I was pounding beer, and I didn’t realize it was real until halfway through the take. I was like, ‘I’m super drunk right now!’ She added that, "For some of the movie, it was fine, and it worked in the scene, and so it was helpful for them. But I mostly found it really unnerving."
