    • Trivia
      Ryan Hansen wore fake teeth to change his appearance and padding around his abdomen to make him look like he had a belly and a body double was used in the pool scene.
    • Goofs
      Assault cases are Government vs Defendant, not Claimant vs Respondent as in fraud cases, so Dennis would merely have been a witness rather than a claimant.
    • Quotes

      Margot: Let's look at the bright side.

      Margot: Maybe his mom DOES have cancer.

      Margot: -I guess that's being too optimistic.

    This movie is simply trying too hard
    I wanted to like this movie but it was a rough watch. The jokes felt a bit lazy, the scenes too exaggerated, and the ending felt unrealistic and as though it was simply trying too hard.
