When Hitch is watching Albert on the steps before meeting him for the first time, Hitch flips open a notebook to read Albert's resumé. Some of Albert's favorite books include: - "Introduction to Management Accounting" by Charles T. Horngren - "The Astonishing Power of Feelings" by Lynn Grabborn - "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough" by Stuart Smiley - "NTC's Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs" by Richard A. Spears "Knife Fighting Techniques From Folsom Prison" by Don Jones.
Eva Mendes was featured in Will Smith: Miami (1998). She was the girl in the car lip-syncing "Bienvenido a Miami." When Mendes mentioned it to Will Smith during rehearsals, Smith sheepishly admitted that he did not remember her.
Will Smith suggested Kevin James for the role of Albert. Smith was a fan of The King of Queens (1998).
Kevin James made up all of the dance moves for the scene where Albert is dancing in Hitch's apartment.
Allegra Coleman was a fictitious actress created by Esquire magazine in their November 1996 issue, designed to spoof other magazines' fawning obsession with new stars.
