Did you know
• According to the DVD commentary, the scene where Jack gets back into his minivan and the minivan won't start was a happy accident that wasn't supposed to happen. The director thought it was a perfect beat and left it in the final cut.
• The snow falling symbolizing the changes in Jack's life is an homage to It's a Wonderful Life (1946).
• When Jack is changing baby Josh and he urinates on him, that is real and not an effect. Nicolas Cage's reaction is genuine, and he is trying not to laugh as he is cleaning it up. Brett Ratner thought it added to the chaos and unexpectedness of the scene and kept it in.
