When Segal was in the middle of completing the post-production work on the 2002 comedy Anger Management, Sandler approached the director and asked him if wanted to direct 50 First Dates.
During an interview with the BBC shortly after the release of 50 First Dates, Peter Segal revealed that by the time he finished work on Anger Management he only had 48 hours before his work on his next project was to get underway.
There is no rest for the weary and Peter Segal knows that a little too well after directing two Adam Sandler movies back-to-back.
Little did Segal know but this would prove to be no easy task.
