TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Daniel Radcliffe said in an interview that his role as Wallace is the first contemporary character he's ever played, having previously starred in mostly fantasy and historical projects. He said, "There was something lovely about just stepping up on set and talking."

In Canada and the UK, the movie was called "The F Word." Hollywood changed it to avoid an R rating.

Casey Affleck and Mary Elizabeth Winstead were originally cast, but the film makers later decided that they should go for younger actors. It is therefore somewhat ironic that Zoe Kazan, the actress who replaced Mary Elizabeth Winstead, is in fact older than Winstead.

During the filming in Dublin, Daniel Radcliffe spent a night partying with the Dublin Minor Gaelic footballers at a house party in celebration of them winning the All-Ireland minor championship. He was however, on set to film the next morning at 8 o'clock.

While they aren't credited, you can find Chantry and Wallace's last names in the email "Re: just pure fat" that Chantry writes. They are Alton and Hastings respectively.

Popular Dialogues

"Wallace: In fairy tales, love inspires you to be noble and courageous, but in real life, love is just an all-purpose excuse for selfish behavior. You can lie and cheat and hurt people, and it's all okay because you're in love."

"Allan: I just had sex and I'm about to eat NACHOS! IT'S THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!"
