Marcello Hernández makes his feature film debut here. In interviews he said working with Kevin Hart taught him practical lessons about surviving long shoots, joking that Hart became his "back pain mentor."
Much of the movie was filmed in New Jersey even though the story is set in Miami.
Marcello Hernández has said that because he grew up in Miami, it was funny watching New Jersey try to impersonate his hometown. He joked that locals would immediately notice the differences, while everyone else would buy it completely.
The movie premiered at the Paris Theater in Manhattan before it hit Netflix- an unusual choice for a streaming comedy. The Paris Theater is one of New York City's oldest movie palaces and is owned by Netflix, which often reserves it for prestige premieres rather than broad comedies.
