Lily Sheen spoke to USA Today on Sunday about playing Nicolas Cage's daughter in the action comedy and how she didn't think she'd make it through the first day of shooting. She said:

"I'm not sporty. I was like, 'I'm not going to be able to throw this,' and I was bugging out, like, 'Oh, my God. I'm going to ruin this movie on the first [day]. I'm not going to be able to throw it.'"

She also told USA Today that having her mother at the premiere was wonderful. She added:

"I wanted her to see it. I wanted her opinion on it, and I'm just happy that she got to come and be in the experience with me. She was going crazy. We were all screaming."
