Trivia
At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller stated in a press conference that playing brothers in this movie was one of the best experiences they've ever had in their careers, as it allowed them to grow closer as friends than they ever have in the past.

Goofs
While Danny is on the phone with Eliza (who is at Bard College), he states, "I might go stay at Jean's in Rochester for a while. I'll be closer to you...". The distance between Rochester and Bard College is actually significantly greater than New York City to Bard.

Quotes
Danny: It was like walking barefoot through broken glass to get a milkshake. I loved the milkshake, but, you know, my feet were bleeding.

Down to earth drama that isn't swinging for big laughs or big tears

Keeping things low key from beginning to end, the story presents a realistic family dynamic that's subtly dysfunctional. The ridiculously star studded cast all offer up believable, understated performances, and it's easy to find the characters relatable. The film stays so true to life that it can occasionally get a bit dull. I'd say for the most part it hovers just above being boring, but I could see someone who's used to more fast paced fare consider it's dry delivery to be a tedious slog.
