Actor Ice Cube stated on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993) that this film was originally intended as an Adam Sandler vehicle.
According to the movie's commentary, Aleisha Allen's (Lindsey) favorite scene was the birthday party scene where her character got up on the stage and sang "R.E.S.P.E.C.T."
When Nick is asked what Suzanne's kids names are, he answers 'Theo and Rudy [Huxtable]' from The Cosby Show (1984).
On the train, Kevin asks Lindsey if Nick can catch them and she replies, "Maybe 10 years ago". This is a reference to Friday (1995), also starring Ice Cube and Nia Long, in which Cube's character, Craig Jones, can't keep up with Li'l Chris.
