- TriviaIn the early drafts of the screenplay, Greenberg was written as a man in his early 30s. Inspired by the idea of casting Ben Stiller, Noah Baumbach & Jennifer Jason Leigh rewrote the entire script and made Greenberg to be 40 years old, turning 41.
- GoofsIn the final scene just after Roger received the second doll he walks screen right. As the camera pans with his movement, it appears as though the camera is visible in the bathroom mirror at the back of the scene.

Florence Marr: You like old things.
Roger Greenberg: A shrink said to me once that I have trouble living in the present, so I linger on the past because I felt like I never really lived it in the first place, you know?

Featured review
AS UNLIKEABLE AS STILLER IS IN THIS IT IS WORTH SEEING
Ben Stiller actually does a great job in this one. Noah Baumbach has such an unusual way of making people's ordinary lives and dynamics interesting. This is no different. Stiller plays the quirky New York brother of an upper middle class LA man. Stiller, fresh from a mental hospital, housesits while his brother is in Vietnam on vacation. He becomes involved with Florence, played by Greta Gerwig, who is his brother's assistant. She is also unusual in her attraction to this odd, relatively unkind man, but she is really, really likable in this. It is, like all Baumbach's movies a look at relationships and people. Stiller is horrible and great in this all at the same time.
