    • 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

      Andrea: For me, this story was not about love at first sight.

    For the Fans
    Understanding Ilizas specific comedic tone is integral to enjoying Good on Paper. I love Iliza and her work and I've heard her tell this story a few times on her podcast. So finally seeing it exaggerated on screen was a treat. This flick isn't the neatest and the cracks in the script start to show in its third act. Iliza is absolutely a leading lady and getting revenge on a lying ex by making a movie about them should be celebrated.
