- TriviaTo accentuate the contrast between the scary and the funny, director Paul Feig made the decision to shoot the movie like a brightly-lit comedy. "Thrilling things happen in the daylight rather than in darkly lit rooms." He adds, "in the suburbs, there's not a lot of hiding among the white walls and bright windows."
- GoofsWhen Stephanie receives the email about Emily being spotted in Michigan, you can see it is actually an email that has been typed but not sent. The shot of the computer screen shows the "Compose" tab of Stephanie's email is open (not the inbox), with the "send email" button at the bottom of the page.
- Alternate versionsIn an alternate ending on the DVD, Sean assembles a flash mob that dances for Stephanie in the school playground, ending with Sean proposing to Stephanie.

Featured review
The ending was great, don't let reviews get you twisted
Well worth your time and gives constant misdirection. Coming from a person that can predict an entire movie's plot (including twists) in the first 17 minutes of screen this movie was a challenge to confidently pin down in its path.
The writing was brilliant and the actors brought that vivid narrative to a satisfying reality. Each character is well used with no loose ends left to their purpose like your favorite Dickinson novel. The comedy was delivered sharply with a savage one liner or witty quip accompanying almost every role.
The conclusion isn't spoon fed mediocrity like many in the reviews are wanting but rather a triple turn around summersault nose dive crescendo. It's well worth the setting up the of the rest of the film even though it's not the strongest part, but that's credit to the expectation the rest of the movie sets.
I may be hyping this movie up but it's a fantastic watch especially if you're into mysteries. If you Dig stuff like gone girl But with a light hearted tone you'll love this.
