Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Westfeldt wrote this during her real-life relationship with Jon Hamm, casting him as the abrasive married friend while she and Adam Scott find love. The meta-text is THICK.
The entire cast were actual friends who'd worked together before; Maya Rudolph was pregnant during filming, which explains why she's seated in nearly every scene.
