Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Zach Galifianakis's first feature film role—he improvised most of Luke's bizarre behavior, including the infamous dog scene.
The Malloy brothers, who directed this, came from music video backgrounds and shot the snowboarding sequences like extreme sports commercials—which basically invented that aesthetic for comedies.
