Stiller explained that his last name in the film was very similar to the saying. “Because it was PG-13, I guess. And they thought it was too close to f—er,” he said.
After Evans asked if they needed a copy of someone's driver's license with a last name, Stiller replied, “I don't understand how it works legally, honestly, but something like that happens.”
