This is the first American remake of a Soviet film, in this case The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! (1976), a holiday cult classic.
The creators of the original film reacted negatively to the production of this remake. Actress Liya Akhedzhakova called this project "bullshit" and didn't want to talk about it, and her castmate Valentina Talyzina said that the original film's events wouldn't be possible in the US because Americans don't have the same kind of problems people used to have in the Soviet Union. Also, Olga Ryazanova, director/screenwriter Eldar Ryazanov's daughter, expressed doubts about the remake.
When Margot (Emma Roberts) arrives late for the wedding, her mother and siblings notice she is wearing boots. She eventually borrows a pair of dress heels from her cousin, which doesn't fit her well; you can see her tripping and being unsteady on her feet as she walks down the aisle with her father. Emma Roberts originally wanted to go barefoot, but the director rejected the idea.
