The name "Espn" for Jim's (Adam Sandler's) daughter (Emma Fuhrmann) in the movie came from Adam's visit to a barbecue restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida. The owner had pictures of his kids up, and one of their names was Espn. Adam thought it was a really fun name and asked the owner if he could use it in his new movie for one of his kids. Obviously, the owner was happy to oblige.
Once again we see the whole Sandler family in this film. Both Jackie Sandler (wife) and Sunny Sandler (youngest daughter) can be seen in the Crafting room. Judith Sandler (Adam's mother) and Sadie Sandler (oldest daughter) are seen in the Little League announcers booth. Jared Sandler (Adam's nephew) plays the guy who calls Lary sir and fugly in the Dick's sporting goods scene.
Jim (Adam Sandler) mentions that he manages a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Ridgefield. Ridgefield was the name of the town in which Demain on se marie ! (1998) was set. The Wedding singer also starred Drew Barrymore.
This is the third Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore romantic comedy. The others being Demain on se marie ! (1998) and Amour & amnésie (2004).
Dale Steyn: South African Cricketer (and one of the best fast bowlers in world) plays a caricature of himself.
