Both John Leguizamo and Rosie Perez admitted certain scenes with them together felt uncomfortable because they are close friends and attend church together. "It was in the sex scene between husband and wife that things started to go bad. ... It was the hardest scene, very difficult," Perez said. "I respect him so much and he respects me so much. I know his wife, he knew my husband and introduced me to my boyfriend. It was very awkward. Like brother and sister having to do a sex scene."
Brad Furman would later work with John Leguizamo again on the 2011 Matthew McConaughey film The Lincoln Lawyer.
