"I'd basically love to stand here and say I had such a hard time researching this movie, people struggling economically but it wasn't the case," Ben told reporters. "Basically anywhere I went and we shot where I grew up in Massachusetts so I could just go to guys I went to high school with, guys that I grew up with. So many of them were dealing with some of that stuff and companies that were similar to the movie."
