    • Trivia
      It was originally intended that Chris O'Dowd's cop would be American, but everyone was so enamored of O'Dowd's native Irish accent that it was decided that he keep it.
    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      Helen: [sobbing] Why are smiling?

      Annie: It's just... it's the first time I've ever seen you look ugly. And that makes me kind of happy.

      Helen: [starts to laugh through her tears] I look ugly? No, I don't. I don't really look ugly.

      Annie: A little bit. You're an ugly crier. But that's okay.

      Helen: No, I'm not really an ugly crier.

      Annie: Maybe just a little bit.

      Helen: No.

      Annie: Just a little bit.

      Helen: It's just my make-up. But I still look pretty good.

    • Alternate versions
      The 131-minute unrated version contains several additional scenes as follows:
      • The conversation between Annie (Kristen Wiig) and Mother (Jill Clayburgh) is slightly longer with Mother telling her about Father's "chicken coop" sex act, and it also reveals that Annie's father grew up in a farm.
      • Becca (Ellie Kemper) mocks Annie for being single and offers to arrange a date for her.
      • The car ride with Lillian (Maya Rudolph) and Annie after the bridal store fiasco is longer and different than the theatrical version. In the new cut, after Lilian admits crapping her wedding dress, Annie starts to feel uncomfortable, gets out of the car and throws up.
      • When Annie is at the bathroom, Gil (Matt Lucas) and his sister were in the bathtub together. He asks Annie to hand her the disposable shaver and shaves his sister's armpits.
      • There's a new 5-minute scene where Annie has a date with a guy called Pete. While waiting at the living room for Pete to get ready, she has a very uncomfortable conversation with his son Taylor (he's talking about "fear of dying", asking about Annie replacing his mother, etc.). After Annie goes upstairs, she overhears Pete talking on the phone telling his wife how he missed her and describes Annie as unattractive. Shocked by that, she went back downstairs and saw Taylor taking some contraceptive pills before leaving the house hastily.
      • The home video of Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and Jon (Ben Falcone) is slightly longer. She sticks a slice of ham on his chest and eats them. However, Jon's reaction doesn't tell whether he likes it or not.

    Absolute perfection

    This is the funniest film ever made. Hands down. And it gets funnier every time. I have never laughed so hard, and I quote it almost daily. Just perfection!

    The cast are all amazing and are perfectly cast. Kristen Wigg has never been better. There are just too many funny scenes- the plane scene is an absolute classic. If you don't pretend to be Ms Iglesias on your next flight then there is something wrong with you. But all the scenes are hilarious- the wedding speeches, any scene with Annie's mam, any scene with Megan, any scene with Rita... just brilliant. You feel like, somehow, even though they're all completely bonkers, you know them. And you leave the film feeling great.

    Watch it... on repeat! You will not regret it!
