Trivia

A large amount of the people we see fired in the film are not actors but people who were recently laid off. The filmmakers put out ads in St. Louis and Detroit posing as a documentary crew looking to document the effect of the recession. When people showed up, they were instructed to treat the camera like the person who fired them and respond as they did or use the opportunity to say what they wished they had. A way to discern who are the actors and who are the real people is that the real people do not have dialogue with George Clooney or Anna Kendrick, as they were shot separately. Jason Reitman did this intentionally, feeling that the real people would freak out Clooney and Kendrick. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Ryan asks how many miles a round-the-world flight would cost, he's told it's 500,000 miles. However, on American a first class round-the-world flight costs 300,000 miles (and even less for lower classes). See more »
