According to cast and crew, working with Mike Myers on this film was a "horrible, nightmarish experience." Actors would wait for hours for Myers to come out of makeup, he only spoke to his handlers and director Bo Welch during down time on set, he had his handlers dress his trailer, and his area was all covered with tenting because he didn't want anybody seeing him. He also had a male assistant who sole job was to feed him chocolates from a Tupperware container, and the film ended up having long and pointless additional takes of scenes because he overruled Welch on whether they were good enough or not.
