Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bill Murray only took the role because he confused screenwriter Joel Cohen with Joel Coen of the Coen Brothers. He found out too late.
This film represents peak early-2000s CGI-live action desperation—the era that also birthed Scooby-Doo and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Hollywood had no shame.
