    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A subplot of the film was inspired by an article in Time Magazine about David Phillips, a University of California civil engineer who stumbled upon a lucrative frequent-flyer promotion. By purchasing 12,150 cups of Healthy Choice pudding for just $3,000, he accumulated 1.25 million air-miles.
    • Goofs
      When Barry boards the flight to Hawaii, he wears the blue suit with the red tie he wears throughout most of the film. When he is shown sitting in his seat talking to the man next to him, his tie is yellow. The next scene, showing him leaving the Hawaii Airport, he wears the red tie again.
    • Quotes

      Barry: I don't know if there is anything wrong because I don't know how other people are.

    • Crazy credits
      Egan's six sisters are credited collectively as "The Sisters." The four brothers who pursue and assault him are credited collectively as "The Brothers."

    Perky, cringy, rough, sweet, honest, beautiful. Surprising movie!
    A wonderful delightful movie, I was glued to the screen from the beginning to the end. Perky, sweet, honest, rough, weird, cringy, beautiful. Sandler's performance surprised me many times and in the film lie many hidden truths about life, love, passion and what it means to be(come) a happy person.

    I think this film is not for everybody. If you can't get into it immediately, give it a try. If you cannot enjoy it at all, don't judge it. It is not for everybody, but for those it is for, they thrive on it a lot.
