Cameron Diaz's first film following her retirement in 2014; her previous film was Annie (2014), which also starred Jamie Foxx.
This is the third movie to co-star Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz after Any Given Sunday (1999) and Annie (2014).
It was reported that Cameron Diaz hated doing this movie due to the amount of time she had to spend away from her husband, Benji Madden, and their three-year-old daughter, Raddix. "These back-to-back 10-hour workdays have been a lot on her and she hates being away from Raddix," the source said.
It was reported that Jamie Foxx had an "absolute meltdown" during filming, which led to the firing of three crew members.
