Writer/director Mike Binder said that Kevin Costner's character is an amalgamation of Detroit Tigers baseball players Denny McLain (from whom the character gets his first name) and Kirk Gibson.
Kevin Costner gained 20 pounds for his role.
Binder approached singer-turned-actress Mandy Moore to play the youngest of the daughters but she backed out because she wanted to do publicity for an upcoming album.
'Lauren Ambrose ' changed her mind about playing the role of the daughter whose obsession with dance and dieting almost kills her. 'Keri Russell ' soon took on the role. Russell had studied classical dance when she was younger. She said she just needed some catch-up classes.
Although 'Erika Christensen ' is six years younger than Keri Russell, she plays a sister older than Russell, and Alicia Witt, who is only one year older than Russell, plays the eldest.
