Life does imitate art, for real. There was actually a scene in the movie where someone was taking pictures of the restaurant. Despite the fact that the production company had already received approval from corporate to use the “golden arcs,” they didn’t spread the word to the people at the local chain down the street from the movie set. When the crew started decorating the site, a McDonald’s manager sent a photographer over to the site and threatened to sue the set crew for everything they were worth.
