At one point, director Edward Zwick jumped into bed with Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal naked for a group shot to make them feel more comfortable. This shot was used for the film's poster, with Zwick digitally removed.
In preparation for their respective roles, Jake Gyllenhaal spent time with Jamie Reidy, the author of the book the film is based on, while Anne Hathaway spent time with Lucy Roucis, an actress stricken with Parkinson's disease, who has a role in the film.
When asked about the sex scenes, Jake Gyllenhaal joked: "I've had a pretty illustrious career at this point, but the hardest thing has been pretending to be turned on by Anne Hathaway. And I pride myself on really having pulled it off."
The anti-Parkinson's drugs Sinemet and Ropinirole mentioned in the film can cause sexual hyperactivity and hyperarousal in some patients as a side effect.
In setting up the sex scenes, the actors were encouraged to improvise, but with their clothes on. Edward Zwick says that it is "colder" on a set because there are people all around, the camera, and other distractions. Therefore, the improvisation was useful in setting the scenes and shots for the actual shoot.
"Jamie Randall: Hey, Lisa. Bruce Winston: Her name's not Lisa. Jamie Randall: I know. I know. But, if everytime I say "Hey, Lisa", then eventually she'll come up to me and she'll be like, you know, "My name's not Lisa it's... Jennifer"... whatever, and I'll do a big apology and I'll say, "I thought you were the Lisa who was mad at me for not calling". And, from then on Jennifer, or whatever her name is, will think that I dated a girl who looked just like her... who I rejected. She'll develop this unconscious need to win my approval and from then on, it's cake. Bruce Winston: Damn!"
"Maggie Murdock: I'm gonna need you more than you need me. Jamie Randall: That's okay. Maggie Murdock: [crying] No it's not! It isn't *fair*! I have places to go! Jamie Randall: You'll go there. I just may have to carry you. Maggie Murdock: ...I can't ask you to do that. Jamie Randall: You didn't."
