    • Trivia
      The movie was shot in late fall-early winter. The grass at the Atlanta home was dead, and had to be digitally colored green.
    • Goofs
      When Arty is searched by the TSA there are (what appear to be) U.S. Marines behind him to his right wearing desert camouflage uniforms. U.S. Marines are not authorized to wear camouflage uniforms off-base unless authorized by their command(s). Also, from October 2011 through March 2014 Marines did not wear their sleeves rolled up.
