Ben Affleck signed onto the film with the belief that it'd support his brother Casey Affleck in his first leading role, while he played a small uncredited role. He was surprised to see his name in the trades as a headline for signing onto the film.
During filming, Casey Affleck mentioned to Kate Hudson that "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits was one of his favorite love songs. Hudson secretly convinced director Risa Bramon Garcia to play the song during Affleck's and Hudson's final scene together as a surprise for him. Casey Affleck didn't find out until he watched the movie at the premiere.
Christina Ricci said in an interview that while shooting in the East Village, the landlord of one of the buildings they shot in front of did not want the building featured in the movie, because she was personally against smoking, due to her father dying of lung cancer. She orchestrated several antics to sabotage shooting, including hanging a "NO SMOKING" sign in one of the windows, covering posts on the street with aluminum foil, and singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" during filming. She even almost punched out an extra for stepping onto the stoop during a shot, and walked towards camera with the "NO SMOKING" sign while singing.
The title is a reference to a carton of cigarettes, ten packs per carton, twenty cigarettes per pack.
Kirsten Dunst was offered the role of Cindy, but turned it down.
"Jack: Look, what happened between us last night is like this ongoing problem with me. It happens all the time: I meet someone, we go home together, but then the next day it's... Cindy: What? Next day what? Jack: Well, they tell me that suddenly they've developed these feelings for me. Cindy: What are you saying, that every woman you go home with falls in love with you or something? Jack: Yes! It's like a curse! It never ends! Cindy: A woman falls in love with you and you think that's a curse? Jack: You have no idea! Cindy: No! I don't! Because I think you're lucky! I mean, there are some people who wait their entire lives for somebody to tell them they feel that way about them, and you, you just throw it away like it's nothing, like it's a minor inconvenience! Well let me tell you something, Jack, you are cursed - just not the way you think you are."
"Lucy: You need to find somebody that likes you the way you are. Kevin: And who would possibly like me the way I am? Lucy: I have no idea."
