Short description

Exactly one year after Tom meets Violet, he surprises her with a wedding ring. By all accounts, Tom and Violet are destined for their happily ever after. However, this engaged couple just keep getting tripped up on the long walk down the aisle.

What's left behind the scenes

  • To develop a British accent for the role of Suzie, Allison Brie listened to recordings provided by her British colleague Emily Blunt.
  • Jason Segel and Emily Blunt had previously played a couple in "Gulliver's Travels" (2010) and also appeared in "The Muppets" (2011).
  • In early trailers for the film, just before Emily Blunt is shot in the leg with a crossbow, a little girl can be heard saying, "I am Pocahontas." In later trailers, to play on expectations and the success of "The Hunger Games" (2012), this line was changed to "I am Katniss."
  • When Violet leaves the church after the funeral in England, she has a haircut with bangs (the same as when she was with Winton). When she returns to the US with Tom, the bangs are gone.
  • Violet's outfit changes during the donut tasting participant review. She starts in one outfit, which changes to another, and then unexpectedly returns to the original.
  • During Tom's conversation with his parents at breakfast, Tom picks up a fork. In the next shot, he raises it again. His mother's drink also changes position and volume throughout breakfast.
