  • Although set in Bali, Indonesia, the film was shot in Queensland, Australia.
  • A license is required to drive a boat in Australia, so Maxime Bouttier (Gede) had to take his practical and written exams within two weeks and scored 97%. He had to put the boat license to use on the first day of shooting, with big wind and big ships…and George Clooney and Kaitlyn Dever in the boat with him.
  • The fifth film for co-stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts after Ocean’s Eleven (2001), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Ocean’s Twelve (2004), and Money Monster (2016).
  • George Clooney’s character comments on an “age-appropriate date”. This references Clooney himself, who has a long history of romantic links to significantly younger women. His wife, Amal Clooney, is seventeen years younger than he.
  • Lucas Bravo, the actor who plays Julia Roberts’s boyfriend Paul (who keeps proposing to her), is 21 years younger than she is.
  • When David calls Georgia, the name that appears on her mobile for the incoming call is “Him”.
  • In the gag reel at the end, the flight attendant spills the champagne all over George Clooney, and Julia Roberts says, “It’s just George Clooney, we have another one.” Clooney jokes, “1-800-Brad-Pitt!” This references Ocean’s Eleven (2001). The three starred together in the film, and Clooney and Roberts had a similar situation in their relationship.
