Did you know
• A sequel to Todd Solondz's movie Happiness (1998), but with entirely re-cast characters.
• Title taken from the title of a song by Talking Heads.
• In an interview with People magazine, Allison Janney said she and Michael Lerner were almost injured during the filming of their sex scene. "We had to have sex up against a wall and they started spraying us with glistening stuff to make us look sweaty, but no-one seemed to realise that we were standing on a marble floor. They said 'Action' and he pulled me up against the wall and his feet slipped out from under him and he went crashing down on the floor. It was terrible, but it was one of those moments I'll never forget."
